do you mean 0 and the receive goes bye bye ? or do you mean the meter just goes to 0 ? like from 1/2 a db to 0 db ? Noise blankers in cb's tend to make incoming sound a little off from what they would normally sound like with them off , sometimes very simlar to a rf-gain control when you turn them down a little bit. As long as you can still tx/rx I wouldn't worry about it. It'a also getting to be that time of the year that a lot of static electricity is in the air and that can sometimes effect meters fairly easily , what you can do is take one of momma's fabric softner sheets or a dash of fabric softner on a rag and whip the face of the meter with it , (the whole radio for that matter) and this will usually discharge any static - e in your radio. Sound strange ? but it works

goes from about +10-15 to 0 and i can still hear people.
