[RFI] Utility coming tomorrow to chase RFI

[N1BUG]

Thanks Don! I really appreciate the info. I picked up a CATV signal 
meter (Wavetek SAM IIID) which is great for hunting power line noise 
but very bulky to carry around. I would really like to have another 
HF/VHF/UHF receiver that is easy to carry, not only for power line 
noise but other RFI issues as well. I think the AGC was a big 
problem in the Alinco. It was so perfect no signal sounded any 
louder than the background hiss. What made it mute the buzz into 
something that sounded more like modulated background hiss I have no 
idea.

73,
Paul N1BUG
