Trouble: Weak transmit audio, deviation below the specifications, high end
of the speech spectrum missing.
  
Tools needed: A good soldering iron with a sharp tip, desoldering braid,
solder, sharp-nosed pliers, small cross-point screwdrivers.
  
Cure: 
 - 
Open the radio case following the instructions in the owner's manual (p. 45).
 - 
In radios fitted with the UT-63 board, pull out the board.
 - 
Unscrew the two small screws holding the tin plate against the bottom ends of the band modules. Pull out the plate.
 - 
Pull out the band modules.
 - 
Now you see the microfone fitted to the mother board. It should fit
neatly against the inside of the fascia panel. If it doesn't, carry on.
 - 
Unsolder the microphone leads from the mother board. BE CAREFUL not
to overheat the board and the wire insulation.
 - 
Pull out the microphone and the rubber gasket.
 - 
Re-install the gasket. Pull in the microphone so that it fits inside
the gasket well and press it firmly to the end.
 - 
Re-solder the mic wires.
Install the band modules, the tin plate and don't forget the screws.
 - 
Replace the rear panel.
 - 
Tighten the 7 screws.
 - 
Test the audio response.
