Ditto every time I have seen Cheap Gaff used it is the stuff that peals up paint or damages the clients building or leaves sticky residue all over.

The way it was always explained to me when I was starting out is that many things you hear in the world are really not stereo sound. For example somebody speaking to you like in dialogue, interviews etc is only emanating from one point. While the fact that your ears interpret it in a stereo fashion it does not make it stereo.
Now for something like a band where the drummer could be positioned 20 feet or more from various other instruments it does make a difference in our perception of the sound environment. The reason I mention this is that during playback you have the same issue. If you record something in stereo but play it back on an old tv where the speakers are 3 inches apart is it really stereo? Now if you play it back in a home theater set up for surround sound you will defiantly hear it.

Hmm, Ok new guy is going to give this one a crack. From what I gather it is both monitors getting the hum. You have tried a humbuckler, ground lift etc so it is likely not coming up the ground from the wall. The reason I mention this is that I can think of two situations in 10 years that fit this scenario. The first was a shoot where a dp had plugged a consumer grade monitor in to his camera out and the wall. The power leaked (for lack of a better term) Up the ground wire through the camera and back into the mix. Which we realized later is why we only heard it when tape was rolling. Point is start checking the weird stuff I would take a ground lift and start with your monitor and start hitting every peripheral attached to that station until you find it.
Ps. An engineer friend later told me that while most broadcast and industry equipment has shielding against this type of thing it is not always the case with cheap or consumer grade stuff.

Just to clarify have you zeroed out the menu settings. One of the major differences between the 302 and your old fp-33 is that there is a software menu instead of dip switches. This actually allows you to do more things in terms of setup but consequently it can come back to bite you since things are not always apparent on the surface. Since your mixer is used I would start there. Incidentally the factory default is line out.
