What size power supply are you using? It might not be big enough. Other than that, sight unseen, it may be hard to diagnose.

I have the unit on a good power supply, 13.8v dc unit with a 15 amp constant rating... I did get the issue with the mike cue prob fixed lastnight, bent wire in the rj45 jack, that problem is now solved, but i still cannot get the unit to transmit? I used to use this radio long ago, 05' 06' for ema, and i cant find any of my info on it, or instructions on it either, moved twice, prob thrown away.... Any way to get a users manual for this radio? pdf format if possiable?

It would also be a good idea NOT to key it up without a proper antenna or dummy load.

Antenna is the corect one i had in my old pov, it was with it, and how i came across the radio.... just puzzled on why it would stop working, it was removed and stored, "survived" two moves, and now just a paper weight until i can get a users manual.....

The manual won't tell you much more than how to change channels, adjust volume, turn scan on/off, etc. I haven't been able to find it but here's the service manual: M1225 Service Manual

What specifically are you trying to find out from the manual? A lot also depends on how it was actually programmed as to what is what, functionality wise.

Oh, I knew it was around there somewhere!

I would try a different mic if you haven't all ready.

Thank you everyone for the quick responces, and the users manual and service guide.... It looks like i'll have to re program it anyway with the narrowbanding.... Thank you all again!
