- I'm still pursuing my power line noise. I have a few questions, starting with this one: A while ago I modified an MFJ-856 power line noise sniffer. The mods consisted of adding a T match to the drive

- I have an 856 and have not experienced this issue. Never stand under the power line with the receiver. The antenna for the noise will be over the antenna for the receiver and the yagi will be like a

- Thanks Tom, I've been thinking about that. I'm trying to figure out what is the best common mode choke I can do without starting all over on the mods. I have about 7.5 inches of RG-142B/U coax expose

- Cool. Thanks for all your efforts. I've only had mine out once and I narrowed down the area (which happened to be right in front of my house) and I'm on my way to building an ultrasonic receiver out

- Paul, I haven't experienced the same problem as yours. I use a homebrew Moxon antenna for my RFI chasing. I put several #43 beads on the coax right at the antenna driven element and at the receiver.
