I use an FT-817ND...  Nice sensitive HF rig, covers 160 through 440,
and does AM mode on all bands I use...  Antenna jack on the top, and it
has internal batteries...  

You can't beat that rig for a portable RFI hunter...  I have a few
loops I use with it, and a few probes, and I can locate most anything
that way...
