It's a bummer when the boss doesn't care about a cb radio, which at times can be a very valuable tool for the job. Here's some advice that I gave...
Hey thanks for the interesting post, its been a little quiet on the forum lately. I've made a post about a radio problem and for some reason as...
Lol..... good catch.
Thanks for clearing that up. After re-reading his post, that makes sense now. The way he worded it made everyone think he had a problem with his...
Are you saying you had a 30 minute conversation while the cb/pa switch was in pa mode? If so I don't think the meters needle moves in pa mode....
With a truck like your Western Star, about the easiest antenna system is the (NGP) no ground plane antenna. Some guys who tried this antenna claim...
You can buy a lot from Walmart's website. I see this mount will take 10 days to be delivered to my local store. It seems like Walmart wants to be...

Okay very good. I suppose it could be the coax, I'm not really sure it is. I'm just basing it on the fact that if you remove the coax from a 4...
Okay very good. A 2018 radio isn't really that old to have dirty switches, unless it was in a rock truck or some kind of a dirty environment, but...
Okay that's good to know. Is this Cobra 29 radio and older radio? If you wouldn't mind doing something as a test. When you're at a truck stop and...
