Well, I'm not sure the decision tree is quite this binary from
what folks are saying.

If I drive to the antenna farm and get the interference,
does it prove the problem is outside my plane, or just that
the handheld is also more susceptible to it?

If I drive to the antenna farm every day for a month and don't
get the interference, does it prove the problem is in my plane,
or that the interference is several things combined some of
which aren't line-of-sight to my current ground location?

This is not to say that I don't think it's worth at least
a drive to the area, and a flight in someone else's plane
with my handheld.

But what I'd like to understand is this:

How could my nav radios (or my handheld) be contributing
to this problem when they are *powered off*?

Could someone explain this to me please?  I'm not an electronics
wizard (obviously) but I do know a little bit and this just seems
very "twilight zone".

Thanks,
Sydney
