Its interesting that I bought 2 of them (one for car and one for base) and BOTH
do it...
I can duplicate it using different antennas, power supplys, mic's, In my car...
It does it every where and since it does it on both radios... I am led to
believe that is actually a radio problem...
What to do?

I sent this the author, and then realized that there may be others that are
curious.
