Every complaint I've seen about solar interference is in HF bands.
Simplest cheapest way I know to test would be one of the ATS Chinese shortwave radios. Common home radios don't cover low enough frequencies. I have an ATS decoder pocket but any with the full color screen should do well. Just go through the bands looking at the RSSI value. Also background noise will sound like analog TV static or an FM radio between stations. Interference will sound like a buzz or hum.
As a bonus if you get one you can listen into HF ham chatter and start learning about propogation of the bands hands on if ham radio is something you are interested in.
I have an older Boafeng UV5R that does GMRS and FRS. Would that work?

Not for this. That does 150mhz roughly as a lowest frequency and you need to check 50mhz and lower.
Ah. Gotcha. One of these days I might
be able to, but that is a ways off.
