[SBE] 950 STL curious problem

[A9xw at cs.com]

I looked at the licensed paths and nothing  to hit.  We do have a possible 
interference at our studio site for the TSL path on another frequency but it 
has not shown up. The studio and transmitter sites are orthogonal to the 
major market  paths and 40-50 miles out of the way.   I left a message foir 
the other station engineer that owns the site to see if they are having any 
issues. We have 1 watt, and a path half theirs  but they have 10 watts and 
bigger antennas. There is also 1 other antenna (V whip) on the stick and I 
don't know what frequency it is on. I've never seen it show up on the SA and the 
box is locked so can't read any ID or TX info.  Looks like a VHF.  State 
Police tower is 3 miles east, bristling with antennas.  Next is cell towers at 
3.8 miles and 2 of them on my TV tower.  Wireless ISP's but mostly on 5.5 
Gig band, we have wireless ISP RX on site but antenna is on building roof.   
Next comes a 16 watt FM on my TV tower, and a munch of 2-way and pagers.  
Another FM 1/4 mi farther on the same radial as my TV tower @ 500', also with 
950 STL from the same studio as the co-located FM.  Next farthest are more 
cell towers in various directions and another FM  way off line at 8 mi.  

At our studio site, there is a 10 watt FM at 1/2 mile away, and various 
cell towers.  DEA and FBI at 200 yards.   

The closest is our own other 900 Mhz SS data link for TV remote, but any 
QRM should be to the LanLink that shares the band, but it also has channel 
filters and tried turing it off, no effect.  

So it seems site or RX related. Just difficult to isolate.
