sounds like it's either a ground problem, or swr or both. if swr is ok, splice the black lead with a short piece of wire and attach the wire to one of the case screws (using a ring terminal if u have one). |

thanks lon , i think i got it . another fellow had same problem with s-6 , told me to remove mic and re install -- did this twice and no more problem. guess it wasn,t making good contact . found out this omega talks awesome with an old stock uniden mic i had laying around . |
