[ICOM] Getting rid of receiver noise

[Max Harelik]

What wonderful site! I live in an area that has a really old and poorly 
maintained electrical power distribution system (TXU, by the way), and 
the electrical noise is horrendous. Even with DSP, ANF, NB and Timewave, 
it's tiresome. This site will be very useful in tracking down th 
sources. Thanks, PZaul.
