Ok, I had a new CB, old ant. Would receive signal but would not transmit though the meter pegged at transmit. Changed out Ant. with a different one, now the meter drops when transmitting, but I am still receiving. Help, how do you know if you fried the final?
Is this a new out of the box radio?if so you might need a tech to look at it because it could be an internal problem.It would have to be put on an analyzer and a scope to actually be seen doing what you say.don't worry because it can be fixed.the cost of fixing it is the problem.You have to decide whether you want to pay more for the repair than you paid for the radio. Either way,new or used the answer is the same.

if the red ant light comes on this means that you have antenna trouble either in the antenna itself or the coax but this should not have anything to do with the radio not transmitting. it sounds to me that you have a bad audio chip or a bad power output transistor. in either case you should really take it to a cb shop and let the professionals solve your problem, good luck!!

Check the ground. Make sure its grounded well on bare metal. To see if the ground is bad, or not making good connection, disconnect the antenna and turn it on. if it does not power up, that means your ground is bad, and it was grounding only through the antenna.
Make sure not to key up with out the antenna connected.

The ERF 2030 will not work with out the added companion parts that need to be added with!! I am assuming you had all the parts with the ERF 2030 and instructions??
The added parts are as follows: along with the ERF 2030

What it came down to was a bad antenna, got a new antenna, tuned it and all is well. Thanks for all your help
