Can't get cb to work
I've had my '14 TG in to get my CB fixed - 4 visits and still can't fix it. They put a new CB unit in to test that, but it wasn't it, then they put in a new tank console plug assembly, but it also didn't do any good. They did fine some wires that were abraded under the fairing an re-taped them. They said something about replacing the head unit (?) also. So far nothing. I'm getting pissed-I had to pay $800+ to have it installed in the first place.
My problem is no one can hear me or at best very very faintly. I can barely hear others. Both actions sounds like I'm/they are in a fish bowl(garbled). The static that was there at the beginning is gone now-replaced with the garbled sound. My speakers are fine. We did switch out the antenna - no help. The only thing they haven't done is check the wires from the antenna to the console. Does anyone think that may be the problem of have had the same problem? The dealer is going to call tech services today to get some help - he's run out of ideas.
Yesterday we switched mics. The new mic seamed better, but still no help in receiving. And when he or I releases our PTT button we get a very very loud pop. The squelch does not affect anything.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

When I had the CB installed it worked fine.
I'm wondering if the dealer did something when they installed the Hyper-Lites to my tour pac.
Did try a couple other mics - same problem.
Even if the mic was bad, that wouldn't affect receiving problems.....would it?
I think your first suggestions should be the next thing to try.

Lots of info on Google.
Only bringing this up because there has been no mention of anyone checking this.

A CB has saved me from many road problems (accident tie ups and detours)on my trips through Canada and the US. I wouldn't be without one.

Raising it 1/2" can make a difference? If I loosen it, it may vibrate off - there is no set screw to hold it from turning. The old antennas did have a set screw.
I don't know what is wrong - I have a problem with both transmitting and receiving not just one.
It seems to me maybe there is two completely separate issues.
