So, unless you unplug the microphone each time you want to use the digital modes, shack noises will get on your signal while you transmit. Here is the schematic of the simple modification I made to my st

I was able to install the three components (a resistor, a capacitor and a small signal MOSFET, any similar part will work) inside the microphone case, with room to spare.
