Mine has sounded tinny also for the last few days - a deputy friend of mine said it is the cold weather - don't know if that is so or not. Haven't noticed the thud but the sound was called microphonic when I asked about it. I also get the chirp - don't monitor anything but 800 trunked so it may not be what you are referring to. -----Original Message----- From: ka7gzr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, December 27, 2004 3:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [UnidenBC785D] Microphonic BC785D In the last few weeks my 785 has been become very "Microphonic". When I tap on the case and the radio is stopped on an active channel, the tap is amplified through the speaker. It sounds like a thud. This was a common problem with tube type radios. Don't usual see this with solid state devices. Also, it is more evident at the higher frequencies (800mHZ). At high volumes it also has feedback with audio present. Another issue I have always had with my 785 is a audible chirp when scanning. The chirp occurs when the scanner is transitioning between a trunked bank to a conventional bank during scanning. My 780s don't exhibit this. Anybody else seen these problems? Thanks, Jim KA7GZR If you have come here to find out about the 785D you have come to the right place! In fact the discussion of the BC-785D and how it works is the only acceptable topic on this list. Any discussion about anything other than the BC-785D is OFF TOPIC. I hope this is clear to all group members..
