Just wondering if this is normal or a fault on my speakers. I live near to an FM radio station in Spain. I used a pair of cheap speakers without any problems for a while but then decided to upgrade to some Altec Lansing 2.1 speakers. Whenever they are plugged in they pickup a low but irritating reception of the local station. Should I take them back or is it just a case of being too efficient? :/ Thanks for advice

The bloke that lives near me is a ham radio fanatic (like a big CB with a HUGE antenna in his garden) - occaisionally I get garbled "voice like" sounds from my speakers when he`s on.
Either that - or the aliens are coming and I`m picking up their transmissions. :D
I suppose there`s some way to shield the speakers, but it`s probably not worth it.

Hi
Possibly using Ferrite rings on the cable may help. I think they were used to block cb radio in the 1980s and if its real bad try screened cable for the speakers.
bye
