thanks for that, ive made abit of a boo boo, ive replaced all the elctrolytic caps on the mic amp unit and now the audio is quiet and the radio keys itself after a given time or if you key the radio after a given time it gets stuck in transmit mode , tried the relay im guessing its the mic amp board as ive just wroked on that and it was fine before, except for the old electrolytics, hopefully someone might be able to point me in the right direction lol
