Ron,   Yes, there are more of you out there.. I just had QSO w/ N9AU running a O2 (worst audio I ever heard!), last night QSO w/ W6FE, with same breakup on peaks, he was also running O2.  This is exactly same audio break up you get if you run an O1 and load Ver 2.055.  But of course if you have O1 you just cure it by going back to Ver 1.371, if you have O2 I don't know what you do about it. Most are handling the frustration by talking themselves into... "must be some sort of RF in the shack".. hihi...
