    Default CB or antenna problem

    Been noticing that it appears i'm not getting out recently on the CB, checked the SWR's and they are good (Cobra 29LTD NW, has built in SWR cal and meter)... Tuesday a driver was calling me and when I answered him someone else stated that I was keying but no modulation... the antenna's are old cobra's that were on the truck when I got it... could this be a radio, antenna or mike problem?

    Thanks

    Take the radio and the mike into a cb shop to have them test it. Shouldn't cost much, if anything at all. It's probably the mic though.
    Wanna play a couple online games that are absolutely free? These are the games I play on a very regular basis:
    Battle of the West & Mobs Law

    I would check the antenna(s). Check for cracks, breaks, and look at the base. Some fiberglass antennas break loose at the base. You also might want to stop by a CB shop, and have them check your radio, and mic. Also, check the nut on the mic cord, where it screws into the radio. It that nut isnt tight, it wont work well, either.
