[RFI] Utility coming tomorrow to chase RFI

[N1BUG]

I would be VERY interested in hearing audio recordings of power line 
noise heard at VHF or UHF using ANY and ALL of the HTs with AM 
reception. Why? because two years ago I bought an Alinco DJ-X11T for 
power line noise hunting. I found that in AM mode, power line noise 
was more of a "chitter" than a buzz, very soft in nature and hard to 
hear unless it was quite strong. Background hiss of the receiver was 
loud and the power line noise did not sound any louder to the ear. 
It also took a LOT of signal to produce any S meter action. I have 
since rid myself of that unit but would consider buying something 
else if it offered better performance for this purpose. I would like 
to hear examples of what I would be getting next time. Having heard 
more than my share of power line noise in AM mode on my VHF/UHF home 
station up to 432 MHz, I have to believe the odd sound was a 
deficiency of the Alinco, not the nature of power line noise at UHF.
