I have a Maxon HCB-10C handheld radio I bought a while back at Wally
World so that I could monitor very short-range CB traffic from my
vehicle without hooking up the real CB I use just for long trips.

It worked fine for a while, and then I lost the sheath off the rubber
duck antenna, at which point it didn't pick up any thing at ALL except
maybe some hiss. Assuming a bad antenna was the culprit, I just
bought the RS telescoping center-loaded antenna (cat. no. 20-006).
Same deal - nothing but hiss.

Given that this little radio was pretty short-range to begin with, is
it worth having repaired?

Anyone want this thing for parts for free (except shipping)?

Thanks,

Did you try it by the freeway on ch 19 for receive?
