Hello folks,

I'm glad to have found this group because of my recent frustration with a new G4000A (replacement for ailing SW7600). It is a new open box item that I bid $83 on ebay. It came in original box with all accessories - excellent condition.

It operates just fine except when using earphones. It doesn't matter if am/fm/sw bands are tuned. On each up/down button press, an annoying popping/clicking sound is hear. When the up/down tune button is held down, the frequency increments as expected and popping also happens on each step. This becomes unbearable after a few minutes of tuning. When using the speaker, the popping is not so obvious.

Are there any G4000A (YB400PE) owners that have experienced this?

I'm quite disappointed and am tempted to return to seller. I would much rather repaired it unless it is an inherent design flaw.

Thank you for all suggestions.
