    I recently had work done on my radio the range infront is about a mile I guess but as soon as the vehicle passes in the opposite direction I lose signal cannot receive on here could the problem be the antenna because the radio work fine at the CB shop. Model is cobra 29 Ltd classic and it's about 4 yrs old. only opened up 1 time just to replace the power cord.Thank you

    Who worked on the radio? I only know two guys that can make a radio hear well.. one of those guys is a part timer that works in Fontana California at CB radio store and the other guy is in Las Cruces New Mexico. If it wasn't one of those two guys I highly doubt the receiver was done correctly and you probably have lots of static in your receiver covering up all the weak signals out in the distance
