As discussed a month or more ago, the current update on the radio caused the CB to lose the feedback through the headset speakers when transmitting. In the past, anytime you transmitted you would hear yourself through the headset. Now, its like speaking into a dead mic.

I did notice a workaround this past weekend while chasing a couple of buddies (and being chased) through the foothills of Middle and East TN. If you turn the CB on AFTER you start the bike, all will function normally as in the past. If you turn the bike off, and then restart it, the CB loses feedback. It is then necessary to navigate to CB, turn it off and then back on and it will then function properly once again. Each time you kill the bike, you need to re-start the CB for it to function properly.

Hope some of you find this helpful. I hate speaking into a dead mic. Its actually transmitting, but you just don't think it is.

Good info thanks. Haven't tried CB yet but I will as I use it often.

 

This was driving me nuts all weekend - first time to use the CB on a long trip and I thought I was losing my mind compared to how it used to function.

Thanks!
