Try checking if all 4 screws are holding the vocoder to the rf board. I think we got our astro saber's from the same guy and I have had some microphonic problems in the past and most were fixed by making sure those damn screws are there and tight.

Thanks the antenna is the Wide-band Whip 403 to 512MHz

Well I opened the radio and it’s missing 2 screws and the shielding
Over the RF board was not locked on properly I put the RF shielding
On properly and now it still has the same problem I just need to find 2 screws
and I hope it fix it



Thanks
