I have a Realistic TRC-216 handheld cb that I bought about 8 months ago. Radio worked fine until the antenna broke. So I found some replacement antennas on eBay.
So now the radio does not transmit. It does but only a few feet to the other radio. It receives great. So I understand they are cheapie radios but I kinda like this one. Here are some pics of the radio.

This is mine while transmitting:
Does anybody have any suggestions? The radio isn’t worth too much but I don’t mind having I sent for repairs. Anybody know of a shop or person who would be willing to give it a shot?
Thanks!!!
