Two days has gone by and the radio has worked perfect ("knock-on-wood"!)
I thank the 6-7 responders to my email.
There were three suggestions that supply voltage "is" or "could be" the
problem.
Guess what? They were correct. Changing supplies did the trick on both
problems: the hash noise and the disappearing display.
Cross my fingers this stays corrected.
I keep thinking thought that TenTec knows about this potential problem and
said....nothing. Sure would have saved me some grief, inconvenience and some
cash.
Marketing ploy, I guess.
Thanks to the group for being there...and particularly the individuals who
responded.

If I increase my volume too much (...and I don't mean "floorboard") my radio
starts making a very loud hash sound. The only remedy is to turn the radio off
and then on. It happens whether I am using the speaker or headphones.
I had the radio into TenTec and they say they cannot replicate the problem. I
have a problem accepting this statement as it is too easy for me to replicate
it.....too easy!
It cost me several hundred dollars to hear this.....
On a second note, I also said that the display goes blank when transmitting...
Another easy problem to replicate. Ten Tec could not..
I can live with the dead display when transmitting; but find the hash noise
very irritating and inconvenient.
Has anyone else experienced this hash noise and what was the remedy?
