Light "bliping" from speaker

[infodragon]

I've just received and setup my Taranis and had my first successful use. However I'm getting a very light noise from the speaker, a "bliping," very constant and regular (roughtly 5 blips/second). If I touch the antenna with my hand it immediately goes away. Position of antenna and location within my home and in the backyard does not resolve the issue, except for touching it.

Any ideas? I'm guessing interference but would a finger tip touching the antenna affect it?

Thanks!

Very well known, all Taranis radios do it.

If it really bothers you and you're willing to dig in with the soldering iron, this helps.

Really appreciate the quick answer! The biggest concern was I was going to have to return it and wait for them to get more stock. After just a few minutes of using this radio I cringe at the thought of having to go back. The radio is awesome and I can easily put up with the bliping until I get a chance to "fix" it.

Two things fix it - IMHO.

1. A piece of insulated foil placed between the of module and back board.

2. A ferrite clamp on two leads running between the two radio halves (also listed in other threads)

That pretty much silences it!
