John,

You may also try a magnetic (or electric) sniffer probe by using it in an 
opposite direction. 

Conventional way using the sniffer is to connect it to a preamplifier and an 
oscilloscope. The sniffer serves as a receiving antenna. ... The opposite way 
is to connect it to a signal generator - (caution about the power level), and 
make it a transmitting antenna. You may pinpoint this small antenna to any 
suspicious part on the circuit board to see if it brings about the system 
immunity problem.
