Default Looking for Noise Source

Not saying it is your problem but I had a Panasonic cordless phone that
would cause the same symptom you are mentioning whenever it was plugged in
and charging. Got rid of it and everythings fine since then except for the
one security cam that has to be shut down during listening times. Some of
those chargers are notorious noise makers. 'Hope this solves your problem.

I have a Drake SW8. Other than this I've never had any problems with this
receiver. With the whip selected or the external (with the antenna plugged
in) selected, I get an annoying pulse noise (about every 1/2 second) over
the speaker. If I select the external antenna and the antenna is not
plugged in, there is no noise. Plug the antenna in and the pulses start.
It only happens on the shortwave bands. I've turned off the computer,
router, powerline ethernet connection, etc with no results. The only thing
I haven't secured is the cordless phones but they've never caused problems
before. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thx.
