It has been mentioned before but I did not noticed any comments on test afterwards. Have people having these problems looked at their power voltage with an oscilloscope (not a slow meter) while talking away at full power? If the power supply sags on peaks for whatever the reason your sound quality will suffer with an AB class amplifier whose current demand goes all over the place. I had a similar problem with a Kenwood and it went away when I bought a much bigger power supply (Linear 35A for a 100W radio) and connected it to the radio with short twisted 4 gauge wires. My original power supply had 5 extra amps capacity over stated requirements, but you could see it sag with voice peaks, the new one doesn't budge at all.
