Loud snap or popping noise when switching on TRC-918

None of my 920's pop, but my 918 does


I also spoke to Albert about it and he mentioned something about having boxes and boxes of old documents, but wasn't sure what was what. I volunteered to search through it all with the idea of making it public, but he was so busy, he didn;t show any interest. Maybe one day.


Chris did he say about having schemes for the new I931? Because when I asked he sorta just said no. Which I agree it's odd not to have a plan for component boards drawn up before actually making them

How many 920's?

Anyone else willing to test theirs?

So Far its a 50% chance its gonna pop:

I have had a total of 5 920's in my life. Not that many (Think Gordie)

I can't recall any that seriously popped. I think any radio with a straight mech switch without a relay or a switch with the full battery running through it will have some pop.

I have had 2 918's and they both had a wicked pop.

Come to think of it, the 922 has a pop Push button "Power" switch

Haha, oh Gordie. Love that guy, the king of the hunt.

My 920 doesn't pop either. It's silent when switched on/off.

My 931's have a slight one though, and yeah, kinda like others said, if the volume is up, it's a little louder.
