Intermitent Receive on Cobra

I have a new Cobra 18 WX with the same problem. Posted on several forums with no replies. Frustrating as heck!
 
Check the CB/PA switch to make sure it's not the problem. Try messing with the squelch to see if that does anything. Double check your antenna connections, both the connectors on the coax and the antenna mount. It's difficult to diagnose something like this without seeing it in person. If you can swap in a different radio to see if that helps, then you know it's the radio. If it's a new radio and you're certain it's the radio, take it back under warranty for a new one.

    I will not be there but hopefully by the end of this month I will have my New tower and antennas back in the air including my M2 6M5X. The old tower and all of my antennas came down in October 2023 during a Hurricane.
