Jack is absolutely right - of all the RFI investigation tools in the
universe, the clamp-on RF ammeter is by far the most useful. It allows
you to SEE where the unwanted currents are crawling around, and also
estimate the levels.
I don't have a connection with Palomar, but there's a homebrew design on
my web pages.
