[R-390] High Electrical hash noise level

[rbethman]

In my case, I was getting it through the power circuits.  Drove me batty!

In Steve's case, he going to need some assistance.  Someone with a 
"Selective Frequency Voltmeter", such as an HP-312 is one way to "track".

A handheld battery operated shortwave radio.  Go around the power panel 
- AFTER seeing how bad it is near the furnace.

Disconnect the R-390A antenna, and just leave about a two or three foot 
jumper in the shack attached.  *IF* that still gets the hash, remove it 
and listen again.

Steve - If you have an oscilloscope, OR one you can borrow WITH the 
owner, check the power receptacle where the R-390A is plugged in.

Ultimately, he's going to have to get Trane involved.
