I have a small Sony cd boombox that has a AM/FM radio, cassette deck and CD player. I also have a TIMEX CD/clock/radio. Both are having the same problem when I play a cd I can hear a "shadowy" or ghost-like radio station. It's not as loud as the cd music, but I can hear it distinctly and it drives me crazy. I've moved the radio frequency dial around while I play a cd to no avail. I have no idea which radio station it is either but it's always the same station, even...

A: You probably have a local station that is getting into your circuits. It probably isn't your radio tuner that's doing it, since it you've tried changing the station and that doesn't get rid of it.

This can happen with inexpensive equipment that skimps on the shielding to keep external signals out of the electronics.

You should try slowly rotating the radios and see if you can find a position that gets rid of the problem.

"Another one of those "special" songs with all of the good words bleeped out!". Why play it and replace certain words with empty space?

IE: Rumors by Timex Social Club, White Lines by Grand Master Flash.

What's your favorite bleeped song?

POLL: Spit or Swallow...phlem?

A: Rockstar by Nickelback

Okay so usually when it's really late I decide to whip out my iPhone in my bedroom and use it. Across the room I have a, I think it's brand is 'TIMEX', digital clock. I never really tried to look at it's features- I just hooked it up for the time and I just noticed that on it's back there's also this external thin wire that comes out from inside the clock and lays on my table. (that must be the antenna for it's radio if it has one?) Anyway, I think the clock...

A: I have a Timex digital clock with a thin blue wire. If you look closely at the front of the clock, you may see that there is a button for "RADIO". On top of the clock are buttons for other things. You may have a clock-radio.
