I assume you have done the obvious and shut off the electrical main breaker
to your house, run your rig off a battery and see if the noise is still
present?  Only way to make sure something in your house is not the culprit.

I use the National RF, Inc. hand-held loop and find it very sensitive on a
given frequency with the proper loop .

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

Yes!  A loop antenna.

Or make your own:

" 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?
