Was your antennae set up professionally? You may have a short in the cable or connections or even a bad antennae and/or a bad match. Was it matched with an SWR meter? Have these checked out because it does sound like an antennae or cable/connector issue.
Sounds like a antenna issue. Make sure coax is in good order.and antenna is connected properly. You might have to get a "swr" meter to put in line between radio and antenna to make sure antenna is "tuned" to were the radio is operating. Radio shack sells a ok low budget swr/power meter.
Do you hear static when you turn on weather? If so there are just none in range of you. There are not weather radio stations everywhere. You would not use a dual band antenna on any CB. Only an antenna designed for the 11 meter band. Which is the 27mhz CB radio band.
You can go here and see if you have NOAA All hazards weather radio coverage in your area.
If the CB radio is working otherwise it is most likely that there is just not a NOAA transmitter near you.
first of all you are going about it wrong. To set your SWR you check it on channels 1 , 19 , and 40. If you reading is higher on 1 than on 40 you have to shorten your antenna . if its higher on 40 than on 1 then you have to lengthen it. before you do any adjustments to it ,loosen the set screws and let the antenna fall to the bottom then bring it up 1/4 " and tighten the screws. You should also use an external SWR meter not the one on the radio. Thats good for making checks every once and a while. With the meter you key the mic and have the needle go to set then put it on for and key the mic to obtain you reading . Anything under a two is good .
If try another mic and see if problem is still
there then you have half of the problem,the
TX an RX all go through the mic if mic good
you will have to go inside of the unit.
Good Luck
