Ray,

Please describe the "whine" in more detail.  Is it more of a "popping"
noise, or is it a low ptched oscillation, or is it a high pitched
squeal, or something else.
Does it vary with the AF gain control or is it more constant - if it
varies, does it change in level, or pitch or both?
Does it vary when tuning through a strong signal - how about a weak one,
or is it present whether there is a signal being received or not.

If you do a TUNE (connect a dummy load first), is it silenced or is it
still present.

73,
