My method is to record test transmissions at home, using my scanner
and voice-activated, digital recorder toy.  In addition to mix/sub as
Nigel suggested, try alternator on/off, low/high RPM, etc. hoping for
a diagnostic epiphany back home.

Curious to hear your ATC complains over mere noise.  Here, that's poor
form for ATC people, who now make up to about $80,000 plus a
wealth-builder of a retirement arrangement.  For that kind of dough,
we should simply be either readable or not!
