Ah, but when our propserity returns vbeg I will get me something with a
notch filter and a lot of other cute little bells and whistles LOL. I don't
have one .... A ham friend of mine had a receiver that had that and Passband
Tuning. That was really cool ,but he had never learned to use it S. He had
a wonderful antenna. There is a humongous fir in the guy's back yard. He
lives on a mountainside, and found a way to make an inverted V antenna that
was spectacular. Reception on that radio was incredible sigh. His son and
I had been coworkers at a call center. Michael died from a third recurrence
of abdominal cancer. After the funeral his dad let me play with the receiver
part of the rig. He bought it at a swap meet for $100. I miss Micahel and I
miss the radio. Before he died, Michael and I spent many nights talking
about everything under the sun. It's a good thing it was not long distance
s. Best Wishes, and enjoy your notch filter LOL

I got up to late to be able to enjoy that catch. I get the same
interference, but I thought it was coming from electric meters in the

area.
It started when they installed the new meters, so it oculd be mere
coincidence. Others have said it is radar, but it operates 24/7 non

stop.
Nice catch.

Thanks for the Kudos.
I also get it 24/7 and it actually starts from 4.776 to 4.805. I have no
idea what it could be. It's a real annoyance and it prevented me from
hearing a couple of stations this morning.
