K1KY Writes:
I believe you will find that there is a critical design flaw where they
have put an inductor (L6) in the ground return of the mic circuit.  I
have two of these units and could not make them work unless running them
from an external 12 volt battery.  If I used my equipment power, all
sorts of nasty things would happen to the audio.

Simply solder a piece of wire across L6. 

If you are interested in computer interface, you can find my solutions
to that in the e-mail archives.

Let me know if this solves your problem.
