[Kenwood] HELP-Ken mc-60

[Mike Brown]

The MC 60 is well known as a mic that gets RF in the audio. Cheap and dirty 
fix is to put a wire on the base of the mic (attached with one of the screws 
on the base), tie that to your rig's chassis ground on the back of the rig 
and see what happens. There is a more elegant fix, but I can't come up with 
it right now. This cured the problem on an 850 I had and I've heard others 
on the air use the same method. If that doesn't work, then I would try some 
other things, but this is easy to do, and does work in some instances.
