Hi all,

I've got this CB radio that came with my truck and it's never worked. I
finally got around to checking out all the connections earlier today and
everything seems to be hooked up okay -- antennas, battery, etc.. It'll
receive -- barely -- but won't transmit. A buddy tested it out with his
radio from the other side of the driveway and the signal came through
clear, but he couldn't hear me. It came with the truck, so for all I know
it's been busted the whole time, but I don't know for sure. Anyone have
any ideas?

Thanks everyone.......

Do you have an swr meter? Your coax or antenna could be shorted, if
it's not your radio. No modulation at all, just carrier? Could
be just your mic. (need more details)
