It is NOT the King audio panel, it is the Microair 760 radio - at least caused by it. Several folks were on to something about the second com. I thought for sure I had tested the problem with the radio off...but I guess I had not. I disconnected com2 and the problem went away. I re-connected it (with the power off) and the problem was still gone. I turned on Com2....poof, I had com 2 audio, but reduced aux audio. Com1 was unaffected by all modes, with or without aux audio. The issues is isolated with com2's audio. Any ideas how I can test this out and equalize the audio? I seem to remember folks having problems with the Microair radio mixing with other audio sources. Thanks for the help!
