The CB keeps switching on/off. Seems to happen when I pickup the mike. Also presets on mike no longer work.
Is this likely to be a problem with the mike/cable or is the cb itself stuffed.

Could be either.

Cost more to diagnose and fix - Time for an early Easter present.

Can you open the back of the plug on the end of the mic cord? Could be a dry joint(s) or broken wire(s).
The cable clamp should be tight - if it has loosened off slightly, the individual wires may have been stressed.

I solved the problems with my Oricom. Got another brand to replace it with. One that has been in the radio business longer.

Yes, we had the same problem with our Oricom UHF, also the screen began to fade so you couldn't see what channel you were on. The radio was just still under the 3 year warranty so after contacting Oricom and posting the radio back to them, they promptly sent me a brand new one, complete, in the box, which I gave to my son in-law, and I bought a good quality Aussie made GME radio. The NEW Oricom that I gave to my son in law had a broken mangled conection box, straight out of the box. He had to go buy a new one.
