I had the same problem Hal. I tracked it down to my computer monitor. I cant talk on the radio while the monitor is on. There is just too much noise. Not sure if this is your problem but it might be a start

My computer router puts a squeal on my home channel 17. Drives me nuts.

Well you might try some ferrite cores on the cords on the monitor. That might help. I have my monitor set up with NO screen saver. It just turns off after 1 minute of idle. After it turns off I have no more noise. I dont get the noise on all the channels... Just a certian few but they range from 25.600-29.995
