Had the same problem on a M-10 setup that I was using. Do you run PL on your machine? I jumped the mic connection with a "Dummy mic" plug and the noise went away. Try that and see if that works.

I have a large fan that runs in the cabinet and the radios pick up the noise. Also , when i am transmitting into the repeater , i can tap on the speakers for both the tx and rx radio and you can hear the tapping on the output of the repeater . Best described as the speaker is acting like a microphone and that how the fan noise is getting in Any suggestions ?? Maybe disable the speaker from the jumpers between pin 15 and 16 ?
