Great topic Mike. Looking forward to suggestions. Have a switcher on 6m
right now somewhere, hope its in my house. I have 2x 817 & a tinySA
also. I have played with the tinySA for hunting these without much luck.
Always seems better just loop and receiver. My FT-60 HT in AM mode has
been real handy and really portable for V/U hunting but not spectrum
display. I adapted the battery packs to lithium for long runs. Also made
a holder for it on the pvc boom on my 2m tape measure homebrew yagi for
more portability.

GM , I'm looking for better portable tools for SMPS RFI hunting.
I use a Sony 2010 for most of my MF and HF hunting because it has a good LF/MF
bar antenna that is very directional plus an RF attenuator and RF Gain control.
With a 10 segment LED S meter. It can be tuned to the RFI frequency as seen on
my shack receiver so I know I'm hunting the correct RFI.
I also have a Yeasu FT817 with home made handheld loop antenna and a
Miraclewhip for 160M and 80m plus a 470mhz 5 element yagi for arcing hardware
hunting.
I would like to upgrade to a nice portable RFI hunting receiver with a spectrum
display and I'm looking for suggestions.
I thought about trying to adapt my tinySA as a waterfall to these receivers but
have not gotten very far along with that idea because it seems I'm always
chasing a new SMPS RFI and don't get much time at the work bench.
