I agree. If you can't bring up any hiss by adjusting the squelch, then there is an internal problem. What make/model is the radio?

Good point. It could still be a bad connection in the power feed to it as the display backlight may well not be an ordinary 12V bulb on a modern radio and if its a LED or EL backlight is probably running off a regulated supply. The audio amp and the PA stage typically run of raw 12V. The giveaway would be that it would probably blank out if you key the TX switch owing to it failing to get the extra juice needed. As to why its cutting out, well it *could* be the bad connection heats up under load and its resistance increases. Chances are its f***ed though. as its probably an audio fault, not totally dead and they'd have no need to key TX, any competant tech in a TV/radio shop could probably fix it though that wouldn't be 'kosher' as they are probably not licenced to work on comms gear. In the back door and offer cash and I'd take a look myself if it was a quiet day and you were in my town. -- Ian Malcolm. London, ENGLAND.
