Problem with Cobra 25

[park]

I have a cobra 25 that has been in the shack using a A99 for about a year and a half. When it's on the receive cuts in and out like a bad antenna connection, but when you key and un-key the mic it works fine for a few minutes then starts it again. The SWR are good.

I have seen this before with other ham type radios and a good cleaning is what they needed. But on a cobra 25 there's not much to clean, anyone got any idea's?

thanks

Try a different microphone, and if that's not it inspect the microphone jack and make sure all the wires are soldered to the back of the jack.

Bingo ! Put another mic on it and back to normal. If the audio was cutting out with no signal thrength I could understand it being the mic. but instead the audio would cut out along with the S meter dropping to O. Anyway it's working now, Thanks again.
