I have a Cobra 29 NW LTD. It’s 2 months old plus my antenna are about the same. All of a sudden I can’t hear or talk to anyone. But then it will work for a few minutes. The RX/TX lite is green but when I hit my mic the light goes red and the meter does not move? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Unfortunately these cobra CB radios are throw away radios to me, because the companies quality control is worthless. From the symptoms you have described, it's a 90 % chance it's a cold solder joint on the radios main board somewhere. Plus the built in SWR meter doesn't give an accurate reading most of the time. I always tell people to always use an external SWR meter. Also start with the obvious things like switch is in CB mode, not PA. SR/F switch is in SR/F mode. These 2 switches can effect the meter movement. Also a bad wire in the microphone can effect the receive and transmit, so try a different mike if you haven't already.
