no static, nothing
i recently purchased a cobra 29 ltd...i have it hooked up (correctly i believe), but i get nothing from it...no static (when squelch is turned way down), and i don't know if i'm broadcasting or not...if i have it turned on, i might get some reception every 15 minutes or so (depending on traffic, etc. of course), but other than that, nothing...

any suggestions on what might be the problem?

thanks

you said you get no static when you turn your squelch down.... i doubt this is the problem, but it kinda sounds like it,

Try turning The RF gain all the way to the right( clock wise), and the squelch all the way to the left(counter clock wise). If you hear static everything is good, if your squelch is turned all the way to the right, you are only gonna hear REALLY close signals. oh and to get out just keep the dynamic setting at 12 o'clock
