Greetings all.
I'm just dropping by to ask a question of the experts. I'm a newbie at
CB'ing. It's on my motorcycle, and I can't seem to receive anything. I
can transmit loud and clear, but nothing in the receive mode. I have
checked everything; volume, squelch, etc. SWR reads within proper
range. I have some corrosion around the antenna mount, but everything
else seems fine. All connections are solid, too. The most I'll get is
static and the indicator showing that a signal is coming in, but
nothing other than static.
Any ideas what could be causing me to be able to send but not receive?
Thank you in advance.

If you hear static... this a sign that your receiver is operating to
some level.
I suggest you get another transmitter (walkie talkie would be fine)
and have someone broadcast nearby. Do you get anything now?
