Thats because your Rf is powerful on high settings..try taping a AM radio "ferrite bar" to your coax in the back of radio for "RF filtering". Keep your power supply 15 inches away from radio.

Change external speakers or add one with a long cord.
I have a 6 wire D104 . How do I wire it to a Ranger 2985 dx ?
Wiring a 6-wire D104 microphone to a Ranger 2985 DX requires connecting the wires in the correct order and configuration.
The Ranger 2985 DX has an 8-pin modular plug, and the D104 microphone has a 6-pin modular plug.
Here's one way to wire the D104 microphone to the Ranger 2985 DX:
- Connect the red wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 4 (PTT - Push-To-Talk).
- Connect the black wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 5 (Ground).
- Connect the white wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 6 (MIC + Audio).
- Connect the blue wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 7 (Receive Audio)
- Connect the green wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug pin 8 (Transmit Audio)
- Connect the yellow wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 3 (UP-Down).
It's important to double-check the wiring configuration with the user manual of the Ranger 2985 DX and the D104 microphone. Some manufacturers have different wiring configurations and it's important to match the wiring accordingly to avoid any damage to the device.
It's also worth noting that if you are not comfortable with the wiring process, it's best to consult with a professional technician or a radio expert.
