For the past few months, I've been receiving interference on the 2-meter
band -- it sounds like power-line interference, and is strong enough to
interfere with some of the weaker 2-meter FM signals.
Today, I finally got off my butt and tracked down the source. It is
coming from two 8.8 watt LED bulbs I used to replace old ones in the
kitchen (regular bulbs, not like the fluorescent tubes). They are Feit
brand -- think I bought them at Ace Hardware.
So if they want to sell you Feit, put up a fight (or something like that).
BTW tracking the source was simple. Since it was on the 2-meter band, I
switched my Yaesu FT60 HT to the AM mode, and walked around until I
located the source.
