I think you’ll need to walk around with a DFing loop and try to triangulate the
source. There is a design on my RFI pages that would work nicely with your KX2.

Offhand, it sounds like it has some modulation on it that makes me think it’s
not just a simple switching supply (e.g., a lighting device) but rather
something associated with a more complex system. For instance, the SolarEdge
system next door sounds a bit like that because it’s leakage from their control
signals. But who knows...
