ljones135 Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 When I key up the KG-1000G and just hold the key in I can hear a scratching kind of sound being transmitted to another receiver. SWRs are 1.01, I've replaced the coax and NMO mount, moved the mount and antenna to the rooftop of my truck, and replaced the data cable from the head unit to the transmitter as it had gotten mashed. The noise is still there. Any helpful suggestions would be..... well helpful. LOL! TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveShannon Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 I suggest trying another microphone. What happens if you speak into the mike? WRXB215 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljones135 Posted October 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Steve, The noise is still there and takes away from my voice clarity. I'm hoping that it is the microphone as I just ordered one today. SteveShannon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A handheld? Another mobile radio? A scanner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nokones Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Are you transmitting on a repeater channel (467 MHz freq) to a repeater and listening on a 462 MHz freq on the other radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRQC626 Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Sounds like the problem I had with the 1st mic that came with my KG-1000G when they first same out. BuyTwoWay Radios made up for it and sent me a new one at no charge. New mic corrected the problem immediately.

I'm hoping that it is the microphone as I just ordered one today. I would suspect that the problem is either I. The microphone, mike cable, or in the mike jack, but it’s really hard to tell from a forum post. Sometimes those little spring fingers in the RJ-11 jacks pop out of their slots causing problems. Sometimes wires break or the insulation pulls apart, leaving the wires to rub together and make noise. And sometimes itnone of the above but a bad solder joint on a circuit board. Hopefully the new mike will take care of it. WRUU653 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljones135 Posted October 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I've replaced the mic and that seems to have cured the problem. Thank all of you who responded! WRUU653 and SteveShannon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
