[TenTec] Poping in receiver????

[Steve Miller]

In my shack the popping in my Corsair 2 is from the furnace switching on.
Shack is near the beast so I can easily connect the two events.  I can also
hear other electrical noises in my home but have not bothered to check what
is what.  Probably just a minor spark in a light switch somewhere!  73
