    Good point!  I have an FM broadcast tower, a water tower with
    multiple antennae, and some other tower I can't find, along my
    trip to the post office, etc.  My poor PRO-51 spends most of that
    time hung up on the 450 MHz frequencies going REEK REEK REEK REEK
    and other ghastly noises.  I even noticed it on a 151 MHz VHF
    walkie talkie.  The only other source I can think of is some
    huge, high power lines.  Can power lines re-radiate that kind of
    interference?  It happens only about 30% of the time, so it's hard
    to track down.
