I use a grundig g5 sw/fm receiver. Has nice directional pattern on the low
bands, can follow a null right to a source with it.

Dusk to dawn may be a defective street lamp. It fails to start and repeatedly
retries from dusk to go dawn. Usually, however, the raucous noise covers many
bands, not just a few frequencies.

Looking for something portable that would show the spectrum 160-2M with some
kind of small loop directional antenna. The purpose is to walk the neighborhood
looking for noise sources. I had used my car AM radio to track down a bad
wideband noise source that turned out to be a leaking transformer about a mile
away. It was quickly replaced.
I have a dusk to dawn noise source that is on 1817, 1825, and 1828 only. I have
been using my Tecsun PL-880. So far I got the general direction and have to go
farther out at night to try to find it.
Because of these type of noise sources I was wondering if there is something
available other than the $1K high end portable spectrum analyzers that I could
use to walk the neighborhood looking for noise sources that affect the Ham
bands?
Tnx for any feedback
N2TK, Tony
