"Is there a better antenna that I can use with the Tescun for locating the source?"

Yes!  A loop antenna.

" How close to the noise do I need to be to pick it up with this receiver and built in antenna? "
Depends on the antenna.

I have a constant noise source that is loud on 10m and 15m. I got a beam
heading and then I walked along the main road where the power lines are
with my Tescun PL-660. I listened on 10m using the built in antenna set
for DX sensitivity and outside of an inconsistent short noise burst I
heard nothing. How close to the noise do I need to be to pick it up with
this receiver and built in antenna? Is there a better antenna that I can
use with the Tescun for locating the source?
