I guess I just have a different idea of possible scenarios. No situation I can reasonably think of involves wasting time and electricity playing radio.
Sorry. Basically, you can't use it and have it be safe. I suppose you could build the best cage you could manage then store it in the cage. It would be a real pain to pull it out and set it up when you wanted to use it to use it.

Shouldn't an old microwave oven be good? Put a cell phone in it and call. If it doesn't ring you should be ok. Keeps microwaves in, just a thought.
To a point. I could not take my 2.4 GHz cordless phone and use it while standing in front of the microwave when it was running. The phone had spread spectrum technology but it was trashed by the microwave oven running on 2.45 GHz. It worked fine however as soon as I backed off 12-15 feet or so.
