When you open the squelch do you at least here static ??

From where you are the closest CB shop I know of would be Bob's CB, he is very good and highly regarded..

Default Interesting

Mine just start this as well. I was out on a trail at the time. I was able to confirm that I was transmitting, but my speaker crapped out.

I went out and bought an external cb speaker and plan to wire it up. I spent 9 bucks on a Uniden speaker at a truck stop near me.

I figure the extra speaker is worth it and will probably need it to hear the CB anyway.
