Re: Panasonic cordless phones and clicks...

I recently bought a Panasonic cordless for my mother, and was quite
annoyed that while/after dialing a number, I would hear loud clicks
with the pulsing you described for several seconds (up to 20).

After a little scanner experimentation/deduction, it seems that the
clicking is actually the sound of the receiver's scanning mechanism
attempting to find a clear channel. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to
stop immediately after finding one. :-(

Have you checked your charger output terminals with a voltmeter? I'd
be interested to hear what you're actually getting from the charger
transformer.
