Thanks Max, that sounds like my problem.
I think I got the unit at IRTI years ago for about $110 or so and may shop
around for a replacement. Mitch

That sounds to me like a bad transistor. It's a kind of crackling noise,
right? Transistors are soldered in and unless you have experience in
electronics repair it's a job best left to the professionals. If it's a
battery operated portable it may not be worth fixing.
