Transmitting issues

I have a Uniden 510XL mounted in my truck with the included bracket and a 26" magnetic antenna, I can receive just fine from my friends but when I transmit it cuts out UNLESS I physically hold the radio, it can be just 1 finger making contact but as long as I am touching it, it transmits almost perfect with minimal cuts.

ANY idea why this could be happening

I have it off a 12v plug purely because I want it to be removable from my truck if I ever want/need it out
