Pete is the only one who accurately described the "blob" (which sounds
like a click).  It occurs exactly every 8.192 kHz, beginning at 106.50
kHz (98.34 kHz if you tune down that low).  The one at 14008.31 is the
1710th harmonic of 8.192 (although the "click" itself is not a harmonic).

This "click" exists on all MPs, MK Vs and Fields, regardless of those who
say they don't have it.  As Pete said, you have to listen for it while
tuning across one of them.  The "click" happens only when you tune across
the frequency -- it doesn't continuously click if you park on a frequency
it happens on.
