I have posted this on the E1 Yahoo group as well, but I thought I'd ask
here, too. If you can duplicate it, let me know here. If not, I will
probably be exchanging my radio.

Whenever I switch the radio on to the XM option, whether just turning
it on, or switching from any other band to XM, after about 2 seconds, I
hear a distinct high-pitched tone coming from the speaker area of the
radio. This is regardless of volume - even turned all the way down, it
is still there. I also discovered that it is even louder when
headphones are plugged in, again with the volume all the way down. The
noise does NOT occur while powered on batteries; nor does it occur on
any other band selection - just XM. On talk stations, or other quiet
programming, it is very noticeable, and very annoying.


Is my hearing that good, or is this one just in need of repair?

(It's serial number 941, BTW.)

Marked as OT for the SWL purists out there... ;-)
