need a tech to answer this one

pks71 · 19th November 2004, 06:47 AM

I'll try to make it short. I have a 2-way radio for work in my car. When I key up the mike it blows the power supply of my amps.I held the antena of my 2-way and keyed up. It felt like I was struck by lightning, or had a red hot needle plunged into my thumb. It left a white spot. So that must be what is frying my amps? Antena was magnet mount maybe this surge entered ground killing the amp? The 2-way tech say something must be wrong with the 2 way but it checks out. Anyone help?

You should get a DC-voltmeter to be sure about the voltage that comes out of the radio.
