So did it always do this or did it just start happening? One thing that does happen regularly is corrosion under the antenna. You can pull the radios out of the rack and check the resistance between the center conductor and ground, it should be infinite. If it has some resistance, then I would start at the antennas by pulling off the coax there and see if you still have your resistance. If it goes away, then your antenna is toast. The antennas are basically a wire, cut to a specific length, inserted in a fiberglass rod on a baseplate, then they put the fairing over it and inject foam. The foam can get saturated with water over time, causing all kinds of havoc. The line some radios have is called an "inhibit." Generally it is used on the DME, but some older radios used it for the receive as well. If it is just breaking through, you may be able to adjust the squelch on #2.
