Issue With Motorola Xpr 6550 Uhf

[dlagrega42562]

I recently bought an xpr 6550, I have had it programmed and it receives just fine, but when I go to transmit, it seems to power off, I tried swapping out the battery with another one, leaving it on the charger for an entire day but still seems to power off and power back on either when I hit the ptt button, or in the middle of a phrase while transmitting, any ideas on how to fix this or what to do to go about getting it fixed? Thanks guys.

Is either battery a known good battery? I'm assuming the 6550 is used, so I'm assuming the batteries are used also?

Is the charger working fine? Maybe that's why both your batteries seem to have problems.

The radio was bought brand new with all of the accessories, I used another battery from a radio that had no problems and it still does the same pproblem when I try to key the mic it'll power off and then turn back on

If the radio is brand new I think I'd be sending it back under warranty.

and if your 2 year warranty is up, flat rate repair (ASSuming no physical damage) is around $240

Wrong antenna?
