    First, WELCOME to the forums. Second, you are going to have to clarify your problem. First you said it would "transmit clear as a bell" but not receive. Then "would have thought it would transmit 8 meters to the other truck". Take a few minutes to go over and explain exactly what happened...

    Dumb newbie cb lingo questions.

    It's here. Well the radios and the smaller antenna are here. The 3' Cobra is still in the mail I guess. Of course when I got back to the house it was storming and now it's dark so the Uniden isn't installed in the Jeep yet. Hooked up the 75 822 to the 21" antenna and the lighter jack on the...
