Indeed, I have been experiencing a frying/popping noise in the transmit audio
on my TR-2500, most likely very similar to Bob, K9EUI's noise on his 7930/7950.
I have ripped out way too much circuitry for such a "simple" problem, but it
still hasn't gone away.  The noise appears only intermittently, and never has
it been > 1 KHz deviation.  So I live with it.

Since we're discussing rigs, I'd like to put in a strong plug for Ten Tec. I
have owned both the Triton 4 and now the Corsair and I have never had ANY
problems with the rigs - NEVER!  OK, the Corsair doesn't have a general
coverage RX, or as many spiffy features as the Kenwood TS-940S, but as far as
I can tell, the Corsair is a superior CW rig compared with the '940, although
on SSB the 940 has an edge with all of its bells & whistles.  I chose Ten Tec
because of all the HF rigs I was looking at at the time, only Ten Tec gear
looked like it could be fixed by an average ham...Peek into one of those
other HF rigs & say something nice about serviceability!
