HELP!!! CB Radio RF Output Fail

[GunMan9]

I just installed my Cobra 29lx CB Radio and I went threw the radio check option. Antenna passed but the RF output failed. Does anyone have a guess why this is? I can get the weather stations and thats about it. I am out of ideas on what to do and I cant find anything online about it. Thanks.

Do you have the owners manual for the radio?

Ya Ed. I'm thinking its the connector on the coax cable. I don't think I soldered it well enough. Because the antenna is all good I checked for continuity

 

[J Knight]

Check your swr(standing wave ratio) there should be a procedure for that in the manual.

It is at 1.5 on all channels

That's pretty good thought the best was 1 ...

Ok so I re-soldered the connector and I'm still getting the same reading. Rf output fail

Rf gain all the way up it starts to recieve
