Hello fellow amateurs.

I've had my FT-847 for about 4 years, used it very lightly.

Recently I've experienced very strange audio reception. When I listen to 
some  VHF repeaters (after TXing) I hear strong and very annoying 
"scrambled eggs" or " popcorn" sound. It's most usually on the repeaters 
I receive lower then S-5. This is very elusive and happens rarely, and 
it's always unpredictable when it will kick in. When I listen to the 
same freq. on a scanner, the audio is clear and hams I spoke w/ on the 
repeater don't experience this sound. This narrows it down to the 
reception inside my radio.

here's a link to a sound file so you guys can hear what I'm talking about.

Any help concerning this would be greatly appreciated.

73's.
Phil
