Default Radio's gone doolally...

In ,
Lobster decided to enlighten our sheltered
souls with a rant as follows
Started up the car this morning and the radio came on as usual (I
usually have it defaulting to 'on'); however, the normal music and
chat was accompanied by a high-pitched 'beep' about once very second.
I've switched on and off, disabled all the radio's clever functions,
but can't get rid of the beeping. What on earth is it? Help please!

Background:
This is an original factory-fitted radio in a 1998 Renault Laguna
(think it's a Blaupunkt?). I've had the car 5-6 years so am very
familiar with the radio; the noise isn't related to traffic alerts or
anything like that. Happens on all channels, on both FM and MW.

The radio has a security feature whereby you need to enter a PIN if
the power is interrupted; however (a) it wasn't interrupted; (b) it
goes into a mute status with a PIN prompt on the display; mine didn't
do either. I just mention this in case anyone thinks that's what the
problem is.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received!


quite often the AF/TA function on Blaupunkts can do that.

Turn the traffic reports off.
