UV-82 crackling noise on RX while moving

[12dbsinad]

Recently bought a UV 82, not because I need it, but because for 36 bucks what the heck. Seems to work ok, other than if you are moving in a vehicle or wave the radio around in your hand it produces a crackle/popping sound on RX. If you set the radio on a table stationary it's fine. Seems to be worse on UHF.

Not really a huge deal givin it's a Baofeng, but figured i'd ask if anyone else has similiar problems.

Thanks

EDIT: Also, this isn't "picked fencing" or anything along those lines. This noise is definitely self generated within the radio.

I noticed that on the one I had. I think it is the IF DSP reacting to something (noise floor maybe?).

Other than that, it was one of the better Baofengs out there.

The same thing happens on both my UV-82 and UV-5R. It sounds just like a geiger counter.
There were some posts about that on the baofeng_uv5r yahoo group a while back. Apparently it doesn't happen to everybody. Many people on the yahoo group don't know the difference between this crackling noise and normal picket fencing that happens on all radios.

I don't know what causes it. My guess is some kind of SDR artifact due to poor hardware or SDR software design.
I am real close to several FM and UHF TV stations and a 800 MHz trunked system. I don't know if those have anything to do with it. I haven't had a chance to go out ot town away from all the RF and see if it still happens.

Maybe I have more of a bum radio then others, as it seems to be really annoying and loud while the radio is mobile in a vehicle. I just use it at home, stationary for the most part and like I said works ok.

Thanks all.
