Amanda, The radio tuning issue has nothing to do with your PD, though I am surprised that it happens on "all" radios you touch. Does it happen on FM stations? Do you get crackling or noise when other electrical items are turned on or off? Do any of your inside lights dim or get brighter unexpectedly? Do you ever experience a small electrical shock when you touch any electrical equipment (already plugged in)? Most newer radios use the house wiring as the antenna. If this tuning issue (and perhaps some other minor electrical issues like the ones I mentioned) occur regularly, I would suggest contacting an electrician to check that your home electrical system is properly and effectively grounded. If not, there is potential for lots worse to happen. -----Original Message----- From: Nic Marais Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2013 3:00 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Tuning radios Amanda, You have symptoms akin of an android! When last did you have a chest X-ray? Confirmation would be a square heart... If that is the case, find out who constructed you and ask them to retrofit RF suppressors in your power supply unit.
