    Cobra 25NWLTD Issues

    Sounds like you have a Cap going bad in the audio amp. as current passes through it it gets hot and expands internally causing a dead short (the buzzing noise) as it cools it contracts making contact again allowing the audio to pass.

    wilson 1000 swr issues

Because you do not have a mechanical ground the magnet is being hampered by the...
