What I am saying is that if it is a SMPS, and you go up, you won't hear it, so no need to go up...

True, and I know it seems all counter-intuitive/rocket-sciencey, but one typically does not search for RFI where it does not exist, cannot be heard, found, or otherwise seen.

Go as high as one can hear it, that should be adequate.  Spin the dial up, then down, use what works best.  Higher in frequency is usually best, but 24 GHz may be a bit over the top for a switching mode power supply.

I suggest one NOT start there when getting blasted on HF, but VHF should be step-two.
