If your powersupply is not very high quality, you are almost certain
to create a ground-loop through the power-cords of the power-supply
and the spectrum analyzer.
That's why batteries are such a good thing: they don't offer a path
for ground loops.
If you have a isolating transformer, you can try that in the signal
cable between the oscilloscope and the PRS10, but it's not as good
as running off batteries.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
