You need to enable squelch to get rid of the noise in between transmissions.

The standard antenna is in most cases not good enough. It is just total crap. Enable Squelch as dave say to remove the noise when they are not speaking and enable Digital Noise processing if you use SDR# to improve the sound, but you still need to upgrade to another antenna. Even an old TV antenna is much better, anything works:)
