Clean the contacts on the side of the radio. Even though they look good, there can still be crap on there that won't allow a good connection. The best thing to use is a pencil eraser.

i will try that

In maintaining these all day long, replace that pencil eraser with a typewriter eraser, available at staples on special order, and then get a can of Deox-it electronic cleaner, as well as a can of Deox-it gold contact cleaner.

The pins on the universal contact port are made of an aluminum casing, GOLD pin and steel springs. Between the steel spring and aluminum casing, aluminum dust is formed and breaks electrical contact between the radio and port. Keep the spray to a light mist, little is better than ALOT. Spray the contacts first with the cleaner and work the contacts in and out with your finger, then wipe with a rag, spray a light mist of the gold cleaner on both the side contacts as well as the battery contacts.

Take the typewriter eraser and clean the side of your MTS contacts as well as the battery contacts on the back of the battery NOT TO FORGET the contacts on the inside of the battery that make conatct with the back of the radio, which are most important because they can be constantly moving with use and are made of similar metals which wear over time. I've seen some of the power pins on the radio wear divits into the battery contacts as they have been moving against them all day long.

Just to make sure, you have your battery selection set to the battery on your MTS, right? The slot on the side of the cradle marked with ( I ) ( II ) ( III ) The ( II ) is for the NTN1743 note the 43 in that, and the ( III ) is for the NTN1744 high cap battery. The two inner contacts on the battery make contact on the cradle so the brain on the converta-com can tell what temp the battery is and what size in Mah the battery is. Not having this right will not allow audio to pass.

Finally, for your speaker mic, give a shot of cleaner and gold cleaner on the pins for it, will help make sure the pins are clean as possible for better performance.

I don't have stock in the company that makes the cleaners, they just make everything work GOOD.

i have cleaned the contacts on the mtva as well as the mts2000 & mic.......when i use the mtva or mic on the UHF i can NOT turn the VOL. up or down it stays the same......but when i take the same mic and put it on a different jedi radio i can turn the VOL. up & down that goes for the mtva as well.................so is there a problem w/ the UHF mts2000

Possible bad flex in the radio or a bad case on the radio. Seen both.
