Maxon Radio Communications - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
I have a cb radio in the car and one at home if i
radios are very picky beasts, the first thing you should do to get more range out of them is have them tuned by a cb dealer, from factory they rarely get out very far. also for the one that goes in your car antenna placement is very critical since your car body affects how the signal travels. even the length of antenna cable has a effect. when you have them "tuned" many times they will clip a resistor or "limiter" inside the unit. if you look up cb modding, youll find pages with 100s of makes of cb's and learn what modding them means. also look into high gain antenna for your units, if you want really long range buy a linear antenna "illegal in a lot of places" but you will be heard! people have used high gain antenna, and "skip" to talk to people in other states and countrys. skip is when the radio signal "skips" across the uppter atmosphere and uses it like a really big antenna. a lot of truck stops will have a good selection of antennas because cb is still very popular amongst truck drivers. i hope this helps you out and leads you in the right direction. cb is almost a lost art now and its nice to see people that are interested in it. take care and good luck!!

I have a maxon mcb-45w and need to rewire the mic
good luck . if you haven't wired it yet you may have to wire it by trial and error . I have one with no mic and I've been trying on and off for several years to wire one up . Not that its taken me that long ,I get the urge an I break out the radio and I work on the mic until I get frustrated then quit.
MAXON MCB45W will not recieve
I have one that doesn't transmit between the two we could have one radio but who's.. you should try to tune the receive cans but with no schematic you can't because if you turn the wrong one you could kill the radio. I would buy another radio like a radio shack trc - 503 or something in that line if you're into small radio's. Some of them can be opened up to talk like a big radio.
