Most truck stops will carry spare mics for UHFs or Tandys/Dick Smith, Depends wear you are.

Check with Electronic Bug. They stock quite a bit of secondhand stuff. LINK If they don't have it, they may be able to recommend another.

the other thing to check is for a broken centre conductor in your co-ax.

Usually happens just after the connector. The broken centre conductor will let you receive, but not transmit. Be careful here, as to continue to try and use it will damage the power amplifier in the radio.

HTH.

check that you haven't turned VOX on. Took my Uniden out and down to Electric Bug, the tech heard me talking to the sales man who was in the throws of booking it in. Tech grabbed the radio went away and less than 5 minutes was back there fixed no charge. Ok what was wrong? usual problem VOX turned on, have turned it off and now your mike will work. It does.
