Hi

I have the Yaesu FT530 handheld two meter and 70cm with battery.

The unit is very sensitive. For example, when ever I hold the unit near some
devices such as my smart meter, all frequencies show receiving massive
amounts of fuzz. When I hold near my phone (Northern Telecom phone with many
lines and displays) it also shows full strength noise. Holding too close to
the TV also, but other areas away from these things nothing.

What is this unit receiving that would cause it to go useless? Is it
measuring radiation? IMF? RF? Gama? Alpha? Sigma? Cilium? Iodine? EMF? When
I put it near the granit rocks on my sauna heater it shows a small reading
of something, I heard there is radiation in rocks.

Any ideas what the interference is that I am picking up?

It is an older unit I know, are the newer ones this sensitive to area noise?

Any ideas what this is receiving from these devices or appliances that is
making me curious?

Thanks again hams for any advice,,,
