Skynyrd Man,

Sorry to hear about your difficulties! I have been operating two of the Quatro radios, for 3 years and two years respectively, without any difficulties. My experience doesn't disprove your problem. I'm only offering it to indicate that it isn't inherent in the design of the radio. Further, I have instructed six students with the Alpha/JR Quatro combination since the first of the year and none of them have experienced this difficulty. I wish I could offer a solution, but your multiple occurances have me stumped!
