Needle does not move when keying the mic. external meter
Yes I took the mic apart, all looked good.
Let me rephrase .. .
Let's talk about how the needle behaves in receive (NOT keying the mic); does the needle move when the radio is hooked up to an antenna on a known busy channel in your area? You already said there is no audio; but does the needle move in receive w/o keying the mic?
If it does moves in receive; then it might be the mic not completing the receive audio circuit.
Now, back to the mic. You said you took the mic apart. I asked you if you disassembled the mic PLUG. This is where 99% of most mic problems occur.
Now lets talk about keying the mic . . .
Does the transmit indicator light come on when you key the mic?
It does; just take your time and be careful.
Talking about the plug on the end of the mic cable; not the plug in the radio.
#1 fault in many mics is breaking a wire or two in the mic plug.
Fixed MANY such problems in the past.
