Default TenTec Omni VI Birdies and Digital Noise

I've had the OMNI VI for some time. The 10-meter band, especially, is plauged
with digital birdies and "chuffs" when tuned much like the Sony 2010. The
"chuffing" is up to an S5. In addition, there are many digital birdies
throughout the various ham bands that do NOT "dissappear" when an antenna is
connected.

I have talked with TenTec several times, and "that's the way that radio is."
For what it costs and is supposed to do, is there a "fix" for this problem?
Have others had the same or similar problems? If the new Orion has similar
problems, all the best receiver technology not withstanding, the radio is not
worth considering with this type of performance from TenTec!!!!!!

Suggestions???
