Thanks Don! I really appreciate the info. I picked up a CATV signal
meter (Wavetek SAM IIID) which is great for hunting power line noise
but very bulky to carry around. I would really like to have another
HF/VHF/UHF receiver that is easy to carry, not only for power line
noise but other RFI issues as well. I think the AGC was a big
problem in the Alinco. It was so perfect no signal sounded any
louder than the background hiss. What made it mute the buzz into
something that sounded more like modulated background hiss I have no
idea.

Paul, I've used the ICOM R-10 for many years for power line noise
hunting up as high as 900 megs and it works reasonably well for me.
The S meter action is more as you describe but the audio AGC is
soft enough so at UHF the audio level is a good indicator. Arcing
power line noise at UHF sounds like arcing at HF for the most part -
no recordings tho.
