LW, something akin to the Sangean ATS-909X…
..Quodosen should manufacture another radio with SSB, AM/SW (all inclusive bands!), FM, AIR BAND…and criticism will be forgiven……!

No problem with mine.
No problem with mine either. I use it almost exclusively for talk, news, wtc
I changed the sound from Voice to Music mode and the problem is now gone.
In his latest update at the bottom he fixed the problem and it is once again his bedroom radio.
I’ve never had anything even remotely resembling this problem on my Qosoden DX-286.
