Yes, BUT -- Studying the RF spectrum and waterfall (NOT the audio
spectrum) can yield clues about the NATURE of the noise source --
electronic, power control, power line, or lightning static. Is it
impulse noise or not? This information can give us clues about how to
locate it. Most electronic noise must be chased on the frequencies where
we hear it, while we can zero in on most impulse noise by going to VHF
and UHF when we get close.
Great that you're using an SDR's spectrum display! That's a great way
to make sure that the source we have found is what we're hearing at home.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Quite valuable!
