Topband: More noise

[WT2P - CJ Johnson]

Those cheap Baofeng chargers also generate a lot of noise on 160. Was 
sitting here wondering why tonight my noise level was S6 when it was S2 
last night. Unplugged that piece of junk and noise is gone.


Makes me want to throw the whole thing away, caused me a good 1-2 hours 
of frustration.
