Hi,
I have a Uniden PRO510XL hooked to a Firestik II FS 3ft (maybe it's
4ft, I don't remember), which is hood mounted on a S-10 P/U. SWR
reading is less than 2 ( I can re-measure and get exact #s if wanted).
I have clear reception (based on listening on the highway, I assume a
few miles), but I have no transmit capability. To confirm, I went over
to a friends who has a CB in his car and we tried talking to each other
with our vehicles a few feet apart. If we turned down the squelch on
his radio so there was noise and then keyed my mic and spoke, his radio
went silent but no voice went through. I tried swapping mics with him
(since I could receive him no problem), with the same result. Can
someone provide some guidedance on troubleshooting some more? I know
this radio worked in the past, but it was with a different antenna
setup. Since the SWR is okay, does that imply the the antenna setup and
the radio transmit is okay and the problem is with the mic - transmit?
