Check the type of fuse(s) used between the battery terminals and the radio.

On my first glider it took me months to realize that I had a slow blowing
fuse that dropped the voltage about 0.5 volts and made transmission
scratchy.

-I keep hearing of problems with Microair radios, but mine
-worked flawlessly for the past six years, or maybe rather 5 as
-the first year I was fussing with home built mike system. No
-problems since I got the Microair boom mike.
-
-The only "problem" I ever experienced is related to battery.
-As the battery goes down you reach a point that you receive
-just fine, but there is no transmission. I cannot compare
-sensitivity to battery charge of Microair radio to others, but
-I bet it is not significantly different.
-
-In case o significant problems, first thing I'd check is
-antenna connection and antenna tuning.
