Problems with my Cobra 29LTD

What brand mic? Mics fail all the time if you buy a cheap one.

 

it is a refurbished unit, that can mean anything from a simple return and re-boxing, to a warranty issue, repaired and resold.

if you are able to return it to the seller, then do so, IF it has any warranty. but if it was sold with no warranty, you are out of luck.

i have bought refurbished desktop pc's from the maker, not a 3rd party, so there was always a waranty.

if your dad bought that cb from a site, that sells new and used and refurbished cb's, you will have to check for any warranty on what you have.

otherwise, we can all guess all day long as to the problem, so a cb shop will be the way to go. however, every time i went to a cb shop at a truck stop?

they always say., "leave it for a day or 2"...

what good does that do you, when you are 3,000 miles away..???

you many NEVER get back there.....

you might want to just get another cb, new, and srt it up and run with it as is, then take that used one to a shop near where you live, or mail it back to the seller, if they have a warranty, to fix it.

 

Are you running it in SWR mode?

 

Wait

This is a mic issue not a cb issue so let's ask an important question, how do you store the mic?

Do you let it hang?

Do you have the radio in a position where the mic has to be pulled to you?

Or do you put it up where there is no strain on the mic, especially where it plugs into the radio?

 

i have cobra 29. The mic that came with it crapped out after 3 weeks. Then i bought a replacement, it crapped out not soon after. Im a local dump trucker. Im on the cb all day long work related and casual talk. Bought myself a Astatic mic, and it doesnt skip a beat and havent had problems since. Spend the 40 bucks and get the astatic and be done with your problems.
