    GE Super Base 3-5875A transmit problems

    Jimbo 165, Sounds like a thermally intermittent component. Probably a transistor or IC, I would get a can of 'freeze spray', open up the radio, so I could see the circuit board (from the top) and begin around the driver/final area and spray one component at a time, quickly and see if that...

    AMP. PROBLEM PLEASE HELP!

    If it were me, I would power down the amp, open the case, disconnect the fan and turn it back on, would not transmit and see if the noise came from the fan itself, in other words isolate the problem, sounds like to me the fan needs some lubrication or replacement.....my best guess.....
