The buzz was right near the speedo, yet didn't change when I slowed down or sped up. I'll wait until I hear it again, to figure it out, as it only lasted from OC to Pasadena, then stopped for the rest of the trip.
I'll peek around the OC PAPs to see if there's any metros & MBs.
OK, I'm off to the PAP.
