Problem FIXED...........i removed the cover,,,,took a good look,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and low & beholdf......the yellow tx wire was broke off,,reheated the solder a where the tx wire went,placed in there,,,,and problem solved,,,,now my s9 is like Capt205,,,,works with either or mic jack,,,,,,and i didnt have to go thru the hassle of shipping the radio back & losing it for 2 weeks or more,,,considering i just got the radio,,,, sometimes if its a minro problem and u know a lil bit about radio's u can save yourself the frustration of sending it back,,,,,,a 2 mon fix literally,,,and you dont have to be a tech to do a fix like that,,,,,,so any other members if u experience a problem like i did,,,,u may want to check that out first,,,,before calling copper & repackaging the radio & contacting ups & waiting a few weeks for somkething u could have fixed yourself in less time then it takes to remove the screws from the case.......now i can play with it and have some fun....... thanks to all who replyed and offered any insight ........& a good weekend to all........
