No, the Subject line is not an exaggeration.

I have a Sanyo C777 boombox.  The problem I have with it is quite annyoying.
Whenever the power is on, I get reception from a radio station.  The noise
is very small, but when I tune in a real station, and listen to it softly,
the "ghost station" is as loud as the real one.  The same thing happens
with the AUX input and Tape.  My antenna is a simple telescoping rod
antenna.

Has anyone ever heard of this problem before and how to correct it?  I could
take it into a service center, but I don't want to pay $24/hr to have
them look at it and install a little diode or something.  This is getting
quite annoying.  Any help would be great.

Don't send to the address above.  You can Email me at
     moonunit@meteor.wisc.edu, or post it, if you'd like.  Thanx a bunch!
