Same here...adjust the VOX until you get it just right. Had to re-adjust mine a couple of times but now it is perfect. Read the owners manual and it will explain.
Welcome to the world of motorcycle "candy"! Although you may be able to reduce the static now.... It will come back to haunt you! As will the CB problems, CD player problems, and radio display problems.
I know many will say " I've never had a problem with my radio etc. " but truth is, if you ride a bike as a rider and use the radio as an option... sometime along the way it will act up... Otherwise, if your bike is just a weekender or just garaged till you tour then the radio and other candy may work without a hitch!

Well gee, thanks for the glowing report there Captain Sunshine! Did you ever sell Metrics?
Make sure the cord is fully plugged in at both ends, and ensure the mic is close to your mouth. I use the PTT (Push to Talk) and never have any static issues.

Ride well,

Jim, you must live in the Dayton area! Never sold metrics... Just kinda got tired of hearing and seeing all my fellow riders always having problems with there radio equipment and seeing too many new bikes with the batwings removed at the dealerships for repairs... The Harley what I refer to as " candy" is just in fact that... as the radio has nothing to do with riding.. Just for creature comforts... and the next step will be for Harley to mount TV's into the back of helmets for passanger's or perhaps a HUD system for the driver!
I have reduced myself to a low-life bottom dweller! No longer care about the chrome goodies and wallet robbing upgrades... I like to ride my motorcycle as a ride from point a-to-b and if I want the pleasure of comfort I take the car!
You all have a nice day!! Forcast has gotten me is a reality mood of factual experience.
