The raspy audio is only there occasionally and I believe it is
dependent on your RF Gain/AF Gain and probably AGC settings.  Worst
case is with high values of RF/AF Gain.  Only some signals or
combinations of signals seem to set it off.  It sounds to me like
clipping of the signal (gain distribution, AGC, ???).  Some folks
probably won't even notice it, but some of us find it intolerable.

The v1 rx/tx audio always sounded VERY clean and that's just not my
experience with v2.  Mic input tx audio sounds good on v2, but I can't
get aux input tx audio to sound nearly as good as it was with v1.
