w-what?

Can anyone else hear your buddy transmit? Sounds like maybe he has a microphone issue rather than you having a receiving issue. This is the kind of stuff that can drive you nutz, especially right before a long ride!

 

I have a handheld mic & will try that from my friend's bike - also check mic via intercom with both headsets on 1 bike? Going to check my sets of cables pins. Thx to those trying to help.

 

Took the bike in for a warranty service check on the CB. Tried every idea & still not receiving CB signals beyond a "click." Since we have alot of cold & rain in the Milwaukee forcast it seemed like a good time to be without the bike.

 

After troubleshooting the bike CB for days to the point of pulling my hair out it was actually good to find that my conclusion was confirmed by the H-D dealer. Defective CB Module & a warranty replacement ordered. They swapped another CB module from another new bike & then heard CB transmissions, but the dealer was not willing to leave that working CB test unit on my bike. Part on order for a couple weeks. That's fine. In the end it looks like the CB receiving problem has been solved. BTW: they said the antenna tested fine - even with my lost rubber tip replaced with an auto parts store vacuum cap.

 

The rubber tip has nothing to do with the signal.....it mainly so ya...... "don't poke yer eye out!!!"
