Have you considered a FT-817? It is a step up from a handie talkie but it has a
much better receiver than the portables,

Subject: [RFI] HF Handy Talkie for RFI Detection?
All:
I've had an RFI issue coming from a specific direction for several
years. It's a unique noise that appears on several HF bands which is
usually a couple of S-units above the noise i.e., just enough to cover
weak signals in that direction.
I thought I could use a VHF / UHF radio to pinpoint the source, but I'm
not able to hear it on my all-mode VHF/UHF home station with Yagi antennas.
The ideal setup might be a portable HF radio which can tune the same
frequencies that are susceptible to the noise. Something small enough to
carry and use with a portable HF loop.
I was thinking about a Kenwood TH-F6A that has HF SSB / CW coverage, but
I'm told the receiver isn't very sensitive; even with an external antenna.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tony
