IMO, it's like a radio stuck between decades (i.e. - Advanced noise reduction? Yes ... Memory channels? No Sketchy Encoder? Yes), and you're correct in pointing out the wasted space, taken up by the echo knobs. I guess your model had an issue with the hi-cut only. The one I received had this global issue on the Roger Beep and NB/ANL... I didn't get the whine, on either the one I returned or it's replacement (I returned the first one for having to turn nb/anl "on" on every channel and the channel channel selector/encoder would, frequently enough to aggravate me, jump several channels when trying to go up/down just one), as well, it would go a different direction than the one I wanted (i.e. - I'd want to go down in frequency, but it went up instead), and even if I tried turning the channel selector in the other direction, it STILL went the wrong way (quickly moving the selector back and forth was the temporary fix for that). I really wanted to like this radio: It had a large display, a 4-pin cobra/uniden wired mic jack, and an actual jack for a CW key, a Roger Beep that was simply one beep,and a low price. The replacement I received holds the RB on any channel, but not always the NB/ANL, and the jury is still out regarding the channel encoder. I'm still not sure if I should keep it. Thanks for the video, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has had a few bugs!

Thank you I almost purchased this radio tonight no chinese for me
I’ve seen a video that the Galaxy 959G has a similar problem with the screen noise.
Have you tried earphones ?
Just get a 2950
