The tx/rx liight is green when your radio is recieving signals and turns red when you are sending signals. the ANT light is red when your SWR is too high (over 3)

1. turn the knob labeled swr cal all the way counter clockwise
2. set the rf swr cal switch to the CAL position
3 key up the mic and hold it while you rotate the swr cal knob until the needle reaches the swr cal postition
4. set the swr cal rf switch to the swr position
5. key up the mic while on chanel one (record the the number)
6. switch to chanel 40 key up the mic (record the number)
if the number on chanel one is lower than the number on chanel 40 then your antenna is too long.

When I key the mike I get the red light.I have a galaxy979 and a no ground ant

there are two lights on the face of that radio near the channel selector.When you turn the radio on the top top light should be a greenish blue until you talk then it should turn red to let you know that you are transmitting . If the light below that one turns red at the same time then you have an antenna problem. Its not a no ground antenna its a no ground plane antenna ,you still have to ground it .

My kic fridge have 2 compartments. Freezer and fridge. only the fridge part dont work help please

The freezer is where the heat is removed from the box and cold air should circulate from the freezer into the refrigerator section. Something must be blocking the vent between the two. There is only one cooling unit; it cools the freezer and is also vented into the fridge for sub-freezing temperatures.

When i key in both green lights turn red. is this normal ?

One of the lights is marked RX/TX. This light normally turns red when you press the mike key. The other light indicates a bad SWR if internal circuits are properly aligned. If someone has turned the pot which sets the level at which the light comes on, it may come on when you press the mike key. Check your SWR with an external meter to see if you have problems in the antenna system. The way I set this light in my shop is to put a 150 ohm resistor on the antenna connector and set the control so that the ANT light just comes on.

I have a red ANT light i can move my ANT coax on the back of my radio and it cuts the light on and off. any idea what this means

This is telling me that there is possibly a problem within the PL 259 connector ................cut off the connector and redo making sure there is no shorts. THis ....THE SHORT IS SHOWN BY THE ANT WARNIG LIGHT COMMING ON...........NO LIGHT......NOT SHORTED OR OPEN CABLE / CONNECTOR.

Red ant light

The red light always comes on while mic is keyed. It is designed to do that. It will blink on and off while mic is keyed if there is a SWR problem. This is explaned in operaters manual.

Cobra 29GTL Won't Transmit

if the red ant light comes on this means that you have antenna trouble either in the antenna itself or the coax but this should not have anything to do with the radio not transmitting. it sounds to me that you have a bad audio chip or a bad power output transistor. in either case you should really take it to a cb shop and let the professionals solve your problem, good luck!!
