Mobile VHF radio problem
This is absolutely correct advice.....
.... and as advised if the reverse polarity diode is shorted...... replace it
immediately..... do use the radio without it.
Certainly other parts could be faulty due to the shorted heatsink, but this
is a good place to start.

Look at the back of the set and locate the large power diode near to the
power input wires.
This usually shorts out.
Desolder a leg off this diode and check it for a short. If it is replace
it.
You can run it without this "Reverse Protection Diode" but you will not
get
a second chance ever again.
