    Poor receive, please help.

    Good evening folks, I felt it necessary to post the latest regarding my previous poor receive complaint which you were all very helpful with and all suggestions were greatly appreciated. As it turns out....the receive alignment was out. How I do not know since my hands were the only ones in...

    I dont know anything about the 2-way as it is a company thing. The 2-way antenna is on the roof of the truck and the cb antenna is on the drivers side mirror.

    Sorry, not the transmit light on the cb, the transmit light on the amp.

    Poor receive, please help.

    That makes sense. None of them run amps but I have. I removed it to try to isolate the problem. One thing I forgot to mention is that the truck also has a Motorola 2-way radio in it. When I was running the amp and keyed the mic on the 2-way it would make the transmit light on the cb come on.

    Yes we ran in a line again today to and from the jobsite, around an hour each way on the 401.

    Poor receive, please help.

    Thats another weird thing, unless someone transmits really close, the needle stays at the bottom. When I turn the rf gain wide open and the squelch to minimum there isnt much of a noise floor at all. When driving sometimes a brief interference will sendit to about 3 s units only momentarily...

    Ok thanks, but I am currently running a spare radio with no difference. Out of curiosity what would cause the diodes to fail?

    Poor receive, please help.

    Good evening members, its been a while since I have had a question but this is a doozy! As the title says I am having a receive problem. I have a Wilson 2000 trucker going to a Galaxy DX-949. The unit transmits fantastic but receive is limited to 1/8th mile and then it is full of static and...

    No am carrier

    Hi folks, you have always been very helpful in the past and Im a new guy. I recently aquired a Citizen MPL 5. The sideband works well but no am. No carrier, nothing. The radio was hacked but I have tried to bring everything back to factory using a duplicate radio. I am at a loss. Any suggestions.

    Citizen MPL 5,

    Hi folks. I can't seem to find the "post new message" button. Im hoping some of you extremely intelligent cb gurus will offer some ideas. I purchased a Citizen MPL 5, my favorite radio of all time however close to the M5. This radio works...however it is butchered. A three position switch is...

    Dead Key vs Big Swing

    Also guys I should mention that I actually parked my van which has a cb down the street, set up my cell phone aiming at it to show meter readings and to get an audio quality recording for myself. I did it with the 50 watt carrier and mic gain at 1 and 3 o'clock plus wide open. The wide open was...
