When I had the main breaker for the house turned off a few weeks ago, I hooked the radio up to a spare 12 volt battery I had in the garage and had the same general level of noise as with the house power on.


I've decided this noise is just a byproduct of the modern world, one of many things that are no longer as they were in 1978. I can't control it so I will just enjoy what I can hear above that base noise level. I did notice it is getting down to S3 at times on both my President Lincoln II + and Anytone AT-5555N II so that's progress.
