radios can pick up at 100.1 MHz and this radio gets it well. The problem is
a constant background "tapping" sound around 8 beats per second. I seem to
recall reading somewhere early units had this problem caused by internal
circuitry. Has this problem been fixed in current production?




My 800 was built December 2000 with no "tapping" on any band. A great
radio as a consumer listener receiver.
