Noise

I have started to have a 5-7 s noise figure on 80/40 meters and a 3 s on 20 meters "with" or "without" the antenna disconnected.  It appears to be noise and not interference.  Does anyone have any clues, hints, ideas, suggestions, etc.?  I have tried to call Flex on different days, but have only gotten the machine.  Thank you for any assistance.

    Get a 30 foot coax with connectors on each end—- Turn radio on and move Coax all around till you locate strongest Noise level -Might be a Wall Wart like cell phone charger Or drill charger cycling on and off Coax acts like magnet to locate noise —

    This has just started in the last month or so.  I am now unable to hear weak stations because of it.    I used to have a 1-2 s on 40 meters most of the time when the band was good.

    It appears from reading the link that my A/D converter has got an issue and may need the heatsink or replacement of the PCB.  I have been trying on and off for days to talk to someone at Flex, but every time I call i get only the voice mail.  I will try again tomorrow.  Thank you for the link and the information.
