[W2CRA] IMPORTANT Request

Is there anyone on this list that has an HT (or other portable receiver) that can:
1) Receive 450 mHz,
and
2) Receive AM?

The interference is back on 444.85 and it's persistent this time.
It is a dirty signal drifting near 450 mHz.  When it drifts down to 449.85 the repeater keys up.

On a spectrum analyzer, the interference appears to be a badly designed 50 mHz clock oscillator like you might expect in a craptop or a piece of network or wireless networking equipment.
I can't use the spectrum analyzer to track it down because it weighs 65 lbs and is AC powered - unless one of you volunteers to be "mule" and lug it and a L O N G extension cord :-)
