On my galaxy 959 when receiving a transmission, I hear a loud squelch sound mixed with the transmitters voice. Could this be caused by the transmitters antenna?
 

If your 959 appears to work fine when communicating with other stations then i'm sure your radio is fine. Hard to say what the problem is with the other station, background noise, bad mic, electrical interference, bad antenna, or a problem with the radio. Based on the limited information you gave it could have been your receive if you were in a bad area with electrical noise.
