There is something shorted in the power supply. See if you can get a schematic from their website. Most likely parts to check are the voltage regulators, protection diodes and capacitors. A shorted diode will go to ground too.

check the power switch contacts {ie do you get 13.8v at power on or after its fized a bit??? or roger bleep pa circuit can do this also

18 ft. you shouldn't have to worry because a 102 is carring a good match anyway.Make sure you use the good stuff and its not the skinny coax.

I have CX-4600-T too. Mine gets way hot as well, I had a mod kit installed n it swings 215W peak power now. But the excessive heat is annoying, I think mine does have a fan in it though cause I know I felt air coming out the back before.

Is squelch turned too high that it is blocking too many signals? Otherwise, it could be a faulty cable on the mic as the PTT button disconnects the speaker on the CB and a broken wire can cause the speaker to be disconnected.

you'll have to seperate the ground from the shield and then attach the rx,tx,and ground ,the shild then the ground thats on the shield.

connex has ,I'm pretty sure , a 5 yr.warrenty.Go on their site and they will fix it for free.

yes,but you want to make sure your antenna is tuneable.If your SWR is to high or to low you want to be able to adjust the antenna to bring the match up or down.Anything under a 1.9:1 is ok but the lower the better

probably sent enough power thru the reverse polarity diode to burd it but still have enough to keep lights on.

sounds like a power amplifier failure. have the rig serviced

get the mic away from both speakers

the switch for low and high power the contacts are gone or you need to check the DC voltage to the output section and the voltage drop on TX usually the likes of the cobra 148GTLDX has a bridge board you can remove and add some LCD DVM for current monitors and setting of bias etc so perhaps a regulator has failed or a resistor or the contacts on the switch you need to trace it out using current readings

could be in your finalwhere the problem exists.Try flexing your board by pushing down in the center to see if any noise comes through.

check for a fuse bulb for the RX section i would have a radio engineer look at it as you smell stuff its also not a good idea to drive around with known faulty electronics in your car its a bad problem just waiting too blow up in your face... so.. dont leave electrical issue in cars your family depends on

your keyboard membrane is needing cleaned with IPA you must have spilled coke or pepsi or somthing conductive on its membrane so i would just look to replace it you need to perhaps replace some capacitors in the controller board section {mpu for it} i think dry caps cause this esp low value ones around the mpu

not really.Many radios come with one built into the meter on the radio. For those with none you will need an external SWR meter. I would recomend a trucker 2000.

only the CB band to TX on.. you may RX on any frequency. ch.1-ch.40 am and SSB if it had it.. are the FCC allowed channels. yes there are people on those other bands. user beware.

Does the unit work when it is not hooked up to the linear? The obvious choice is that you have blown finals in the RF output section of the radio.

your power switch it faulty as there is a drop in voltage does the meters dim down?? then the voltage supply past the power switch it dropping as it draws more current or... the audio ic has damage or one of its associated capactors sometimes a diode can become leeky its used for AM modulation also
