Unless something is badly broken (bad cable shield, poor shielding, poor 
design, like Pin One problems), what matters is the distance between the 
noise source and YOUR RECEIVING ANTENNA. So to do a meaningful test of 
noise originating in your shack, you would need to connect a short piece 
of wire into the ANT input the rig and probe around for noise.
