    I would first check my antenna's and coax connections...Could be something as simple as a bad connection or coax...I would then take the radio to a shop and have them look at it...Least find out if it has a problem, what it would cost to fix...

    Set up right, a Cobra 29 can out-talk any of the Export 10 Meter Radios....This is why most all the guys that do the Key-Down events all use Cobra 25's and 29's and Uniden 68's and 78's...:thin:
