- That's pretty much what is happening, usually. This can occur when there is a
- fairly strong radio source in the area, and you are using a non-shielded or
- poorly-shielded cable. Another possibility is that there is a bad connection
- somewhere, usually a bad solder joint, that sets up a EM-field around the
- connection that is succeptable (sp?) to interference by the radio signal. 90% of
- the time the problem is the cable, but there could be bad connections in the
- amp itself.
