Default Looking for Noise Source

Nope. I'm not able to isolate the source.

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.
