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,
