I agree with Bob. I found the problem increased as power output increased.
I have a special ferrite device inside a small plastic cube that is split
and hinged. I wrap the mic cord through it a few times and snap it shut.
No more problem.

Don't see why one can't use the speech processor. That's what its there
for.
I still say that it's RF getting into the mike input. Some mikes and or mike
cables present more capacitive values to the mike input thus acting like a
bypass capacitors themselves. I suggest to add some .001 mf caps between
pin 1, pin 3 pin 4 all connect to pin 2 which is ground on the mike
connector. Also, some ferite beads on the leads at the mike connector
inside the radio will be useful. That's the suggestion from Tentec for
another radio. It works and is very easy to do.

Well, looks like Rick Williams found the problem. Thanks Rick! Darn SP was
setting on 3. Don't even know how that thing got turned on. Shame can't use
it. I had very good reports after I turned it off, one station even played
back the audio for me and NO distortion.
Thanks also to Ben, Ron, & Robert for your fast response.
Thanks,
Reed
