Dont give up in despair Thom ! It may not be as bad as you think. If you can run the Ten Tec off of a 12v battery, turn off the main breaker to your home and see if it is still there. If it goes away, then one by one turn on each breaker to see which circuit has the offender, then check everything on that circuit. That seems pretty strong to me and sounds like what I have experienced in the past at my place. One time it turned out to be a DirecTV receiver, which power supply runs all the time even when it is off. It was very strong like what you have. Another time it was a Makita battery charger for a portable drill.
