My car battery loses its charge over 3 days. But only when parked at home. When parked away from home it keeps its charge like any other normal car. It has keyless entry.

So I believe a local radio source on the same frequency (probably either 315mhz or 433mhz, as is usual for keyless entry) may be keeping my car "awake" thus draining the battery. Maybe a neighbour's house alarm, doorbell, etc. (I have removed the batteries from my keyless fobs in case it was them interfering, but the result was the same).

Does anyone here have (or know anyone who has) a radio scanner that could detect the source?
