Is this a dynamic mike with the bias turned on?   If so, turn the bias off.   I trust this is a mike connected to the MIC input on the front of the radio.  If you are using the front mike input and something is connected to the rear MIC input, unplug what ever is connected to the rear input.

Good luck in the VA QSO party.   There's lots of activity.

I never use a microphone so here I am today trying to run voice in the Va QSO party.

When I key the mic, I get a burst of noise that lasts maybe a half second.  It does this even if I have the rig in "test" mode ie. no transmit.  So, I don't think it is RF.

I have tried adjusting the mic gain and changing mics - no luck. It does the same thing using VOX except the noise cycles about every half second.

Anyone have an idea?
