How do you have it installed? in a vehicle? or in a building. What power supply configuration are you using? Is it adequately earthed/grounded? What type of antennas do you have? waiting for your info :)

You'll need to find another CB radio for someone to check to see if they are receiving your transmission.

I have everything hooked up but all i get is static. I had someone from radion shack check the ground and hookup and they said it all looked good. I have tried numerous CB's and different anntennaes still...
Truck boxes may be the best looking place to mount a CB antenna but in my experience they are the worst place for performance.

The 'ground' you need is not an electrical ground but an RF ground. The easy answer is that you need to mount the antenna to a mirror or the bumper or even use a magnet mount instead on the roof. The body of the vehicle provides an RF ground that the small truck box cannot. The only way it might work is to use flat, wide ground straps at all four corners of your box to the bed of the truck. You need metal-on-metal contact.

Cobra 150 GTL DX, nothing but static
if the radio is quiet with the engine off then i suggest first to rig up a way to temp.hook it directly to the battery.if this works then look around the fuse panel to see if it has a battery direct hook up.they sell noise filters,but i have never had much luck with them.i don't believe the antenna is the problem at all.

Static and Recieving Problem
make sure people are talking on the channel it may be no one is talking . the static tells you it is receiving something. the cobra 19 and sister radio magnum sold at wallyworld are notorious for having bad solder joints on their boards.

Cobra 19 DX IV
No, those radios are good radios. I have one just for setting swrs on antennas.

First, I went back and read your last question. You said you have a nylon washer on top AND bottom? Did you mean one under on the top and bottom side of the antenna mount? You only need theone on the top of the antenna mount, which stops the antenna itself from being grounded out. Having one on the underside stops the outter part of the stud, the one that touches the outer screw on part of the coax from being grounded. Without that getting a good ground, you have no groundplane, which will cut your tx/rx to a max of 2 miles. Also, how close is the two setups. Many times, if two vehicles are setting next to each other, you will not receive or transmit properly, just get a nasty garbled with a hint of a squeal.

If this doesn't help, please reply here or shoot me an email at:

Talkback on a cobra 200 gtl dx
This procedure is not as simple as just cutting a wire. Note that you can possibly mess your radio up if any maintenace is not done properly. I do suggest taking your radio to a proffesional to have the talkback removed, but, if you really want to do it yourself, go to ghe following link and basically reverse what has been done.

http://www.cbtricks.com/radios/cobra/150gtl_dx/tsb/cobra_200gtl_dx_tsb_10041.pdf

This is the service bulletin for the addition of talkback to the Cobra 150GTL DX and the Cobra 200GTL DX.

As long as the talkback was added correctly, this can be put back origional.

If this does or does not help, please reply on here or email me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you.

Swr reading is 2.7 on both channel 1 and 40. If I touch the antenna mount it drops to 1.5. Does the antenna need to be grounded better or what do I need to do to get swr reading down?
