I'm not sure I'm tech savvy enough to do this myself. I guess being as it's working ok other than that, I'll wait till I can find a shop to fix it. Not sure of any in my area.
How old is that radio, did you buy it new or used? If it's still in warrantee, send the thing back. If you bought it used, you just found out why that's not always a good idea. Sorry 'bout that.

Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
