Howdy All,
Getting kinda frustrated, I have a Uniden PC 68 XL CB, sometime it works and then for no apparent reason it doesn't. It always powers up, the lights are always on when you turn it on, but sometimes it won't receive or transmit at other times it works great. Any ideas? Thanks for any advise you can give.
Dave
CB works, then doesn't work...........WTF

I don't know what else might cause cut-outs..? What is weather doing? Didn't know this myself until a few years back in freezing fog/rain conditions. No problems on clear days right?
Snow can do it too. That when ice, snow will provide ground-out the antenna mount to the anntenna. Did you ever look to see how little insulation space there is on most antenna setups? Almost less than an inch... Most only have a nylon washer and if anything connects the top and the bottom. Your grounded and can't transmit or receive...
I used that liquid tape (looks like crap) to cover the bottom of my mount. Now, I can handle 6 inches of snow or most ice and I don't have any problems with reception anymore! (Except for alot of nonsense chatter that comes from too many radios and not enough sense...)
