i have a question that i promise you all i have googled, but i guess my google-foo is weak at the moment..
I have a radio that can send perfectly, but cannot receive _reliably_ sometimes i get a good 5 minutes of reception and then it's lost (buzzing, no speech can be heard) i have had it fade in and out (so i guess it's not a heating issue). I'm not Sigs, but i can solder. I know it's a shot in the dark and if this post is ignored i understand, just trying to understand why this is happening and if it is possible for me to fix.

What model radio - are we talking about the US PRC-148 or another one?
As far as purchasing...do eBay - that's what I did. Shipping to Levittown was 40.82USD. Invest in a real antenna while you're at it, too. You can fight for it on eBay, or find someone with Thales website access and buy them for 160USD.
