    The little handheld antenna/recvr combo is very sensitive to polarity (vertical / horizontal) as  you might imagine and as I recall operates at or around 137mhz, not far off the aircraft band. They recv is not very selective, you will hear aircraft if you are near an airport (even though they are on AM I think) and also nearby FM broadcast stations if you point it in the direction of one.  If you have neither it may be helpful.  The units run off a 9v battery so don't forget to turn it off when done with it or the battery will be shot the next time you want to use it. One thing I have learned about noise sources is to look inside your OWN house first. Too much to cover here but you may find major offending sources right in the living room. The power supply for that electric recliner you like so much. Or the wall wart that charges your Iphone and powers your Amazon Alexa. The power pole out front is always the easy to blame culprit. If you want some real help finding / hunting down noise check out the info on https://www.rfiservices.com/   Happy hunting.  -Mike, K4CVL
