Wouxon KG-1000G Noise

[ljones135]

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

I suggest trying another microphone.

What happens if you speak into the mike?

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.

Just curious, how far away is this other receiver, and what is it? A handheld? Another mobile radio? A scanner?

[nokones]

Are you transmitting on a repeater channel (467 MHz freq) to a repeater and listening on a 462 MHz freq on the other radio?

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 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.

I've replaced the mic and that seems to have cured the problem. Thank all of you who responded!
