Hi Jerry.

It probably is normal.  You probably have the monitor turned on and when 
you feed enough audio in you are hearing yourself through the speaker.  You 
probably want to leave the monitor turned off except when you are wearing 
headphones and want to hear your outgoing signal.

It's been a long long time since I used that radio, so I can't tell you 
specifically how to operate the monitor function, but I remember that the 
radio has one and I used to use it.
