Hey y'all. Just got a new truck with new CB in it. I can hear everyone talking on ch 19, but they can't hear me. Any thoughts?
Mic not working

Could be your mic...could also be skip your hearing in which case they probably won't hear you unless your running some power.
-
What type and model of radio? Do you have the mic gain all the way up? When you talk, did someone verify that your radio has RF output by watching their radios meter?

We need all the details you can offer..

I'm in a brand new 2021 KW T680.
Two things I notice:
I tried to calibrate it, but the meter dial never moves to the right.
Also, when I press and hold the mic button, a green light on the CB turns red.
Does this help? -
Unfortunately, I don't have all the info bc I have 4 days off, and I'm not in the truck.
I have a factory installed Cobra (don't know the model number) in a 2021 KW T680.
I watched some YouTube videos on setting up a new CB, and followed them. Gain is up. Volume up, squalk adjusted.
When I press and hold the mic, a green light turns red on the CB.
Also, I tried to calibrate it, but the meter doesn't move to the right. -
Is the cb/PA switch on cb?

Ok, sounds like a Cobra 29. You say the meter needle doesn't move in calibration mode. Does the needle move in sr/f mode? If it doesn't, you may have a bad/ broken wire in the microphone, or the radio has a problem. -
If the cal knob is not turned clockwise while in cal mode the needle is not gonna move if i remember
