Finally got the radio I wanted an XPR-6550.
All seems ok but the radio sometimes just turns off.
If I squeeze the radio by slightly pressing the front into the back the radio re-boots and turns on and stays on for hours. But sometimes it turns off.
The contact points seem ok, the battery a factory Impress one.
I heard that the contacts are two sided meaning inside they mate with a pc board. The contacts mating with the battery look perfect.
How hard is it to remove the radio to clean the inside contacts?
Never been inside one of these but did many GP-300's back in the day.
Thoughts?
