Have a almost new CB w/ new coax and antana..Set swr but red tx light still comes on indicating problem with transmitt..Others cannot hear me. If I continue to key up on mic,may "blow out" radio.
Get a good antenna from Radio Shack or www.copperelectronics.com. Test your SWR it should be 1.5 or less. That light in the radio just indicates a problem(but sometimes there is no problem--Someone has messed with the insides and adjust it wrong(misalignment). Ground to metal frame good. Change coax+ends. Sometimes end soldering is bad.
Start out by getting a good antenna like a wilson or k-40 if your using it on a big rig make sure its a metal mirror and door a lot of big rigs use fiberglass and thats a nono you must get a no ground plane antenna...its all in the antenna...good luck doc's cb shop ny
