I get the radio effect as well. It happens *every* time I turn the 
unit off and different settings (synths, effects, etc) have 
*absolutely* no effect. That is to say it occurs no matter what your 
setting (except volume=off). 

When the unit is powered up and I touch the metal casing, it happens 
as well. Though it is a much less obvious effect (i.e. not as loud). 

In my area I seem to pick up a sports station. It comes in clearer 
than *any* of my household radios. Which is nice.

I'm not griping but it is a curious effect. I just thought I'd chime 
in as it seems every time something like this is reported with any 
piece of gear, the general response is something along the lines 
of: "it must be some *other* piece of your gear? we can't replicate 
it over here...etc" Which only helps further the insanity. Bottom 
line is: the little bastard gets great radio reception. I bet with a 
few choice tweaks it would get in broadcast TV as well. No biggie, it 
(the MD) still rules. So long as I don't find myself tearing up the 
club with fuzzy shouts of "TOUCHDOWN!" going in the background I'm 
fine.
