Hi

Have one of these with a problem. When you turn it on, crackling
sound
emits from the spkr. Previously I could remove the batteries and the
radio
would work agian. Now it doesn't. Turning the squelch doen't seem to
matter at all. Volume works and you can hit the 'scan' button which
will
change the freq.

Somebody seen this? Repair instructions avail or pointers?

thanks
