38-620 Tuning Question
#8

Thanks guys. I had to work today, so I never got time to mess with the radio. I probably won't get back to it until Friday morning. I'll report back then.

Jerry, I agree with you. As I turn the dial, from high to low, the radio works great - until the dial hits 650. Then it makes a noise like someone blowing loudly into a microphone, at maximum volume. It hurts your ears. It does this as long as I continue to move the dial between 650 and 500. Volume control has no effect, the noise is LOUD. If I stop, say, at 600, the noise stops and if there is a station at that freq, it plays normally. Only happens between 650 and 500. It's perplexing. I'm going to try some of the tips suggested here.
