Ok for starters my name is Mark and i dont know to much about CBs, so that is why i am here, to hopefully figure out what is wrong with my radio,,,, for starters its a uniden grant xl, i bought it used with a few mods already done, all i did was plug it in and start talking, well one day my mic messed up on me to where i couldnt transmit, i changed the mic and changed the antenna and still nothing, i can hear every one fine my meter jumps up like im transmitting and others radio meters jump up like they are receiveing me but all they hear from my radio is static, this is before and after changings mics, i was wondering if any one has had this same problems or something close, i do like the radio, it got some distence to it, i live in northern minnesota and even with the mine hills around here it still got out good being on the car,,,, ive had guys tell me they wanted it because it sounded good to them from a some distince off, if any one could guide me in the right way it would be great i miss useing my radio and look forward to getting it back up and running,,,,,,,,,,mark
