Micro Air transmission-garbled

Do you have enough power delivered to the radio?

There are two privately owned ships in our club with
Microair's. Mine is one. Sometimes, my transmissions
were garbled, so I was told. Also, the other ship's
transmissions were garbled. Both of us had our panels
rewired by a professional avionics shop ('Sparkchasers'
located at KJNX, Johnston County Airport, North Carolina,
USA). Since doing so, I have not heard of any complaints
about my transmissions and my friend's transmissions
from his Microair are nice and clear now.

BUT, that's not all of the story. Our two club ships
had Microairs. 'Had' is the operative word here.
I think each radio was sent back to Oz once and maybe
twice. While not 'professionally' wired, the ships
were 'competently' wired (as opposed to mine, that
was originally wired by me....bad mistake!) It just
seems that some Microairs work and some, well, maybe
don't.

I'm currently happy with mine.

We installed a new Micro Air in a sailplane. This
is the 5th one we
have installed. All have worked great except this
last one receives
perfectly, but when transmitting it sounds garbled.
The boom mic is a
Micro Air. Anyone have an idea what this could be?
