I have a Cobra 148GTL with sound tracker, and I run an OLD RK56 on it. I took it out of my old truck and put it in my big metal boat of a Crown Vic. I put a decent magnet mounted antenna on it, running RG8X coax. After checking my SWR and adjusting my whip length, I have a 1.2 across all channels. Then, I come out a few weeks later after the install and go to start yappin' away, but when I key the radio makes a whining sound. It's fine when I'm not transmitting, but as soon as I key, it makes this noise. Any ideas on what it could be?

Did you try a stock mic?

Do you have a good ground to the radio bad grounds always cause issues and how do you have it powered CIG lighter or did you run wires?

Wire it straight to the battery with some 10 gauge wire. Be sure and put a fuse out there by the battery too. I don't know if that will solve your problem, but that is the correct way to power a radio.
