Eric, I have a S8 noise all the time... 24 hours a day. I have discovered 
with the Utility company the neighbor that is responsible. The neighbors 
were asked to called the Utility Co. months ago but they have not done 
anything. At the time... March... I was going in for a full knee replacement 
and so I let it ride. I am back to walking normal and going up and down 
stairs quite well and trying walk a mile a day. So, I will make contact with 
the neighbor again if I get no satisfaction I will contact the ARRL and they 
in turn will contact the FCC. The Fcc will probably fine them and send a 
rep. to get them to solve the problem. I figure they are giving havoc to the 
rest of the neighborhood but the neighbors probably have no idea where it is 
coming from. Now with the Icom 706MKIIG I have to engage DSP, Noise 
Reduction, NB, and AmCom's digital speaker to calm down the noise. With the 
KX1 it seems to be tighter and the S- meter is reading only 2 bars! That is 
with the filter wide open on the KX1. So in my mind that says something for 
Elecraft!!
