I stick a DSL filter on the old phones as well, just to keep the line
impedances in a known state, for DSL integrity where it's needed (not
for phone quality).

Early Uniden hand-sets do funny stuff, but am aware of happy campers
as well. I don't use wireless here.

Sounds internal - AGC and compression in the voice handling - either
something detecting false levels on the mic, or a failing to return to
the Rx from Tx states ~flakey mike,

There are Rx and Tx states in a wired phone??

Depends on what chips are used. If it has wireless handsets in the
out-of-the-box package, it could use the same parts or firmware for
cost reasons - just using the wires to sub out the battery. Who knows.
