ok has anybody here ever had it happen to them where a base amp or mobile amp all the sudden you would hear your voice coming out of the box when transmitting ??? well today my cobra 2000 gtl started doing it,while talking barefooted without the amp being on
 

I bought a old amp on fleabay that when on and transmitting would ' buzz' with my voice, it was the ferrite on the output transformers vibrating.
You could put your finger on the ferrite and feel it.
A shot of hot melt across the beads on the transformer stopped it.
