I'm curious - would this happen only if its setting unused, or can this still happen when a device is still used but just as old?  ie; does using a device make it last longer than when its just sitting in the closet ?
 

Hello   OK problem solved and should have thought of this after years of " playing with radios" but as we get older sometimes the obvious doesn't hit us in the face !!!  Changed the cigarette lighter plug to a more heavy duty type and transmits like a charm ! Thank you to Sshannon for the posting about power requirements which lead me on the right track   73's to all and thank you !
