[RFI] Power line noise question for the experts

[N1BUG]

Ed,

It is one of the DIY "kit" units. However it is the recently 
released RX3, not the older RX2 or RX1. Under controlled test 
conditions, this unit picks up a spark at 100+ feet vs. 35 feet for 
the previous model. What that equates to in terms of sensitivity 
specifications I leave to brighter minds. (Disclaimer: while I do 
not profit in any way from sales of this unit, I did play a minor 
role in the R&D process)

The power company has checked that pole twice with a Radar Engineers 
model 250 without hearing anything.

I'm now questioning whether in fact I have the right pole. It is 
hard to have faith in my findings on those windy days when I could 
barely hold onto the dish.

73,
Paul N1BUG
