John,
Unless your iCom A200 is broken, your problem is not the radio. I had the same
radio in an Allegro 2000 and it was the best quality transmission and reception
I've ever had. Of course the cockpit of the Allegro was pretty quiet compared
to a Kolb.
I now fly a Kolb Slingshot w/ Jabiru 2200A and use an iCom A6 handheld with antenna
mounted on boom tube and get great reception. However, above about 2500 rpm,
the cockpit noise makes it difficult to hear, so when I need to use the radio
I just slow down a bit. Kolbs are very noisy but it sounds like your problem
is not related to the noisy environment but electrical interference of some
sort.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system
that works.

No noise here, also using an ICOM A200 panel mount radio.
