[600MRG] Hunting the noise source - busted.

[Brian Pease]

I have an old portable AM-only transistor radio with a real tuned-RF 
stage (3-gang capacitor!) and a rod antenna about 8" long.  I tune just 
below the BC band and I have a hand-held directional noise hunter that 
is pretty sensitive.  Can't shut off the AGC though.
