Listening in since the 60's

Then seem like need a new audio transistor. tr51?tr52?

I am going to need a bit more information then that.

Does it do the same thing with other radio's?
Has any one been inside the radio?

The buzzing can be from either a rectifier in the power supply, or some times there is an issue on some 9600 boards that can cause a buzzing.

If its the power supply, then your receive will be poor because the buzzing is killing it.

The guy who was really not a tech probably didn't hook the mic wires back to the mic jack correctly. that will cause the radio not to TX or RX.

Next time make sure the tech knows what he is doing, and check on line for cb radio shop blacklists to make sure that one isn't on the list.

This guy owes you either a new radio, or pay to have that radio repaired.

If both echo boards didn't work, he doesn't know what he is doing, because he put them in wrong.

You should always connect it with the radio off. radio may need a tech now.

Yes, a faulty mic can cause a radio not to transmit or receive. Try another mic and see if it works then. If it will not key up, it could be the final output transistor.

Does it receive?

Needs more mods. Try everyone you hear about. That should fix it up.
