No, it shouldn't lose power like that. Does it lose power according to the meter or is somebody reporting a loss of signal? Is it the black 2950 or the gray 2950-dx?

10-4. I'm sorry to hear that man. Quite a few of the older black ones seemed to have some weird problems like that. I bought one a while back for a bargain price and it seemed to work fine for about a week or two. Then all of a sudden it started to lose receive on AM only...I traded it away with some other stuff to the guy I bought it from. He seemed confident that he could find someone to fix it. Long story short, it's still at his tech's house... are you running the radio with a power supply or is it in your mobile?
