From: Amazon Posted: Jul 31, 2008 Type: User Review Line-Out problem makes it totally useless for me

I should've paid closer attention to William "Macintosh Gamer's" negative comment about the BC898T's Line-Out feature, in that it clips off the first couple of seconds of each & every transmission that's received!! Also as he mentions, that "pop"...
