Sometimes when first turned on,or might go several hours, minutes and or secends before it happens.It seems to drop off when ever it wants to no set time.

Best guess would be a cold solder joint somewhere in the modulation side of the radio. Don't know what or where exactly tho...
Take it to a tech they can trace it down better for you and if I am right it will probably be pretty inexpensive to fix, assuming you have a honest tech
