YB400PE power glitch
I just acquired a Grundig YB400PE that had been a display model at
RadioShack. Works great, but I can only seem to run it off of batteries -- if I plug it in, the "battery check" display starts flashing and the radio won't let me do anything. What's up with that? Can I fix it or should I return it? |

You don't want to use battery power much unless you have 2 sets of high capacity rechargeables... the YB400 eats alkalines like mad. |

But it turns out that I was connecting it to the wrong wall wart -- the radio lives on my computer desk (probably because I'm a glutton for RFI punishment) and there's a lot of stray cables around. Silly me... |
