turn up your RF gain all the way to the right and your micd gain to the right also

no ,you have a problem with your antenna. Check the SWR and set it so the bottom light goes out and you will be ok

if you have to ask then you shouldn't be doing it

you need to get a schematic of the final and with a multimeter check to see if the final is putting out the correct voltage.Or you could just replace it. also replace the driver.

this is a questionable thing. The radio I am using doesn't have a meter light but the meter works.I don't pay much attention to the meter anyway as I have a Dosy hooked up to it at all times. It will not affect the radio out put or input so you may think of getting a small meter to put in line and leave it at that.

they all the manuf date on them.

turn squelch all the way to left and leave it there RF gain should be all the way to the right.Radio should be in CB not Pa mode

if you are talking about the AWI light you have a high SWR on channel 40 you want to bring that reading down so you should reset your SWRyou may only be able to get it down to a 2.1 but its better than what you have. and its only a 15% power loss which you cannot tell the difference in without agood set of ears.

try it on a base station antenna and see if it still happens. If it does it should be under warrenty so send it back and get another .

it should work just the it is.My cobra works with my galaxy and vice versa.

don't mess with it you need a special meter to set it.

antenna not matched SWR to high

there are two lights for the antenna.when you are transmitting the top light will change from green to red the bottom shouldn't be on.this is the awi light. it means there is a problem with the antenna system, and you should get it checked. It could be the antenna swr ,bad coax,or the radio.Since you can't do anything with the coax or radio it has to be done with the antenna. Get a real SWR meter and check the SWR or have a tech do it. If the SWR is ok then your antenna just might be in the wrong spot ,or it may need to be grounded A tech will tell you the problem as soon as he puts his meter on it.

sometimes this works,take the wire holding it at the broken end , stretch it out not to tight but tight enogh to see where it would connect by moving it around the inside and looking for a wr spot thats missing a wire.If you can't find it you will have to take it to someone that knows where it goes.Contact friends and see if they can do it.other than that you will have to get it to a tech.

not all the time, but the 10 codes Police Department uses are slightly different than what we used on the C.B. in todays communications in C.B. Radio, much has changed over the years and the code are hardly used, but it's nice to stay in tune with it.
