K guys so i installed a cb radio in the truck, but have issues. First, I use new everything except radio as its good condition. Second after being connected, i get no received talk nor static but others can hear me on same channels. I already bought aux cb speaker at truck stop and same thing happens. What could it be?

What kind of radio? Cobra, Galaxy, Uniden, try turning your RF gain down..

Make sure you have your speaker plugged into the EXT SP, and not PA

Its a plain Midland 77-099 that has no gain knob but only volume and squelch to adjust. Also I plugged in an external speaker thay I just bought at truck stop last night and still the same thing. Others can hear me but I cant hear them.

Hate to be a dick, but that's why. It's a bottom line ****** ass little Midland. You could take it to a CB shop and he's going to tell you the same. It is going to cost more to fix it than it's worth. Go buy yourself a radio that can be upgraded as money permits.

Have you tuned the antenna?

No, its a fire stick and dont know how. I bought the clamp at truck stop and bolted onto truck bed but its weird the issue I got.

It wouldn't be your Fire stick. You can tune a Fire Stick, but they are pretty good out of the package. Did you ever check your ground? Are you running two sticks or just one? Have you grounded your antenna bracket? Can you get some pics?

 

[chevy97]

No, the bracket is clamped onto bed rail where it is rusty and partially painted. And i am only running one antenna on the passenger side. And grounded? I though the bed was good enough since its bolted onto frame? Yes pictures will be uploaded asap.
