Help with Digital Alarm Clock Radio "repair"
All,
I was hoping someone here might be able to help me with my clock radio. I have a GPX Digital Alarm/Clock Radio (Model# D505) that I want to modify. I like to set the morning alarm to play music but I don't want any stations. I want it to wake me up with the soothing hiss of white noise. I've tried setting it between stations, at the ends of the dial, etc. but it still seems to pick up various broadcasts and other chatter. So the questions is -- what wire or component do I have to snip out of the circuit in order to disable the radio's ability to pick up any signals? I believe (and correct me if I am wrong) that if the antenna portion of the (FM?) circuit is snipped out then I should just get white noise, no matter where the tuner is set. Also, would removing the antenna circuit create any kind of problem for the downstream amplifying circuits? Can this be done, if so, how? (This is a $9 radio, so I'm not too concerned if I ruin it) Thank you. Regards, David (waiting with wire cutters at the ready) |
