I couldn't agree less... I've been using my car radio to close in on noisy poles for a decade and more. Tune to the top end of the AM band and drive. Get close and take a portable radio from there.

The local electric utility's RFI guy wants to do a good job, and has decent equipment but doesn't know how to use it. Last time he was floundering around with a receiver set around 100 MHz with a hand-held log periodic that from its size probably started about 300 MHz.

Next time I see him I'm going to urge one of Mike's RFI courses.

Due to the noises produced by cars, their radios are probably the most
heavily suppressed  in the world.  Rule #1.  NEVER use a car radio to try to
hear or find noise.
