First thing that comes to mind is a bad mike cord.

Does the red TX light come when you press the PTT button?
If the red light does not light up then I would suspect a bad mike or bad cord.

A second problem is dirty contacts for the RF PA. This is usually cured by pulling the PA off and cleaning the contacts with some Deoxit
