Demon Cobra 25 WX ST
It will turn on BY ITSELF and squeal like a stuck pig, with the on/off switch off. The on/off volume control has no bearing on it, one can switch it on or off, and the radio stays on and squeals. It does stop of course if I unplug the power cord, and then will act normally, good Rx and Tx, up until it decides to squeal. This occurs with the radio off or on, as I've had the squeal happen while I had it on also. Diode bad? Switch seems to work well, and I did take a small bit of cleaner to it when it happened the first time, but it continued to do it. It doesn't happen every day, perhaps once every 3 weeks in my mobile, I have to unplug the back plug in order for it to stop, despite the on/off switch being off. Has anyone had this happen, and what was your fix? It's something that can turn the radio on, seeming to bypass the switch.
