Uniden 100 stuck in tx

[Classic]

Hi there anyone shed some light on what this could be ? I was given this radio a few years back and it's stuck in tx also the meter lamp isn't working not sure if that is anything to do with it ? It's nothing to do with the mic as it does it without a microphone plugged in.

A quick search on here threw this up, it might help?

TX lights stuck on
Weaker signals cant be heard. Replace TR17 and TR19 (middle of PCB)

and another one..

Transmitting without mic
Replace TR17 Transistor

Another cause could be a shorted cap on the mic socket

Put up a picture of the meter, I've got a bagful of CB signal meters there might be one amongst them.

The signal meter on these is the upside down type where the needle comes up from underneath the meter, and they can be hard to find.

Needs to come from another Uniden 100 or an Audioline 340 I think. I cannot think of any other radios which use them off of the top of my head.

Not really hard to find . Just expensive with the shipping etc.
