I have a fairly new 3 month old Bearcat 980 with a tuned mobile antenna. It works great but for the last month I have an issue only with sideband, either one, AM is fine. I key up start talking and before you know it the meter is pinned and no more audio. I have tried without Talkback, with Talkback, lowering the mic gain, nothing works. Sometimes it works fine for say a few hours but most of the time it has this issue, you key up start talking meter pins and no more TX audio, when you unkey all is good but you TX again and bang. AM never has an issue. SWR 1.1 to 1.3 on External Meter. Power right to the battery with fuse, both positive and negitive, large wire. Coax is fine antenna is fine, all have been heavily tested. Is this radio hooped? Otherwise I loved this radio, even though it was short lived....
Any help would be great. Purchased brand new off Amazon, so it is mine now they said no warranty after 30 days?????
