[RFI] Using VHF HT to "sniff-out" RFI

[KD7JYK DM09]

I do quite well with my Yeasu FT-60, AM mode, 130-150 MHz range, quarter 
wave whip for 450 MHz.

Volume up, squelch off, you won't hear much until you get within a few tens 
of feet of an offending power pole or other noisy item, it works very, very 
well.

A Yagi might help, depending on your application, but with the small whip I 
don't hear noise until I am at the source.
