Dose it work good like i live in a prtty good nabor hood dose it get good distance will it conect withe other bigger cb radios

No one can answer your question because you did not specify what model radio you have.

The red light on usually is on only when the mic is depressed showing you are live.

TR23 is a bigger transistor toward the fron left of the radio. Cant miss it. It is near the Mic Connector. That is a Voltage regulator.

Hi, my name is John. That,s normal, just roll your RF- GAIN back a little bit until clarified, good luck, John

is she getting bad motor noise? Make sure the ANL is on. Is the antenna tuned for best SWR? if the antenna is not tuned it can effect the receive.

That really is the distance limit for a standard CB radio - about 5 miles with 5 watts. It will vary depending on time of day and sunspot cycles as well, but 5 miles is about as good as a regular CB will get.

bobengelman,

Typically and unmodified handheld CB will have a decent talk distance of 1-2 miles with both being a handheld. Further distances can be had if one of the radios was a mobile or base station with distances of more than five miles with weak signals. In some cases the antenna can be changed to a better longer antenna. Extention type antennas typically transmit about a mile per watt. Conditions such as terrain will have an impact on signal specifically mountains or buildings. Better results may also be had by purchasing a mobile magnet mount with a PL-259 to BNC to fit the radio. A magnet mount placed on a air conditioning unit or large cookiesheet as high as possible will make decent gains for distance if the radios are intended to be stationary.

my radio did the same thing with the freq. jumping around from vibrations and bumps. I took it out of the bracket and laid it on the dash .that helped reduce the problem. when i took it to a repair tech he fixxed it in 2 minutes. he said the voltage regulator conections were loose , he resoldered them and the radio has been fine ever since.

You may have ant. trouble if the SWR is hi
that feeds power back into the radio and
could damage it,lets hope not start with a
good ant.and maybe the radios are not hurt
to bad.
Good Luck

Center pin goes to R115 right leg goes to C84
witch leads to the base of TR10 left leg to
ground.this is off aschematic of 25 LTD should
be close.
Good luck
