Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Mike, who writes:<\/p>\n

I’ve recently picked up an XHDATA D-808 and I’ve noticed a rather bothersome problem with it. When I have headphones plugged in and I switch bands, such as from SW to FM, a rather loud “pop” is emitted through my headphones during the band switching. This happens with every band change and happens even with the volume all the way down. I was wondering if you had noticed this sort of behaviour on your unit.<\/p>\n

PS: Your review of the C Crane Skywave SSB is very well written. Great job!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Glad you liked the Skywave SSB review, Mike!<\/p>\n

Yes, I do hear a small audio pop when I change bands on the XHDATA D-808. As you suggest, changing the volume seems to have no effect in the pop intensity. On my set, it’s not particularly loud, but if I use my in-ear earphones, it is annoying. I’m curious if perhaps the pop in your unit, Mike, is louder than mine.<\/p>\n

Please comment if you’ve noticed this same audio pop in the D-808.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
