Default I'll let you know tomorrow

I would suggest removing both of these fuses instead of pulling the main fuse. Pulling the main fuse may require that your reset the home position of the TBW plus you if you have the security module, there is a process you follow before you just go and pull that big orange 40 amp fuse from it's socket.

Be sure and leave the fuse out for two or three minutes. You need to allow enough time for voltage to dissipate from the internal capacitors in the radio.

Re-install the fuses after several minutes and try adding radio frequencies or chicken band channels. What you had stored in the radio previously should now be cleared-out and you should have a clean slate on which to add memory locations.
Just got back from a Lions club meeting, so will do the fuse pullling tomorrow
but that may just work. Later.

Pulled the two 15 amp fuses, looked good, didn't check them with ohm meter. Waited about 3 minutes and reinstalled them. The presets were still there. Do I need to turn the radio on with the fuses out. Nothing changed, still can't preset any CB channels.

Did not pull the main 40amp fuse.

I"m going to assume the CB is working normally other than the preset problem.

Have you ran the radio diagnostics in the Sticky?
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...on-radios.html

The electrical service manual does not have your particular problem (that I could find) But there is one thing mentioned that can cure faults when a DTC is not shown.
( NOTE I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS AND AM JUST RELAYING THE INFORMATION)

FROM THE MANUAL

FACTORY DEFAULTS
If a symptom is present without a DTC, restoring ROM defaults back to factory settings may resolve the issue, which can sometimes be caused by a unique sequence of rider interaction with the system.
NOTE
On FLHTCU models, set Intercom, VOX and CB squelch to midpoint and turn Weather Alert to OFF.
Access the radio diagnostic display and press softkey 1 (DEFAULT), or proceed as follows:
* Turn the ignition ON with the radio OFF
* Push and hold softkeys 1 and 3 and OK for 2 seconds
* Push the arrow up 2 times
* Push softkey 2
* Turn off ignition for 20+ seconds
* Turn ignition on and verify all defaults have been reset

Default CB Presets

Took into the dealer this morning to have them check out my CB. Little while later, service manager came out and said my CB Module PN76416-06C was defective. He said they put one in from a new bike and it worked fine. Cost was $299.95 plus .5 hrs installation.

They didn't have one, but said they could order it. I told him I had better wait because when I took in for a new battery last week, they found two oil leaks and my bill was $1010.34 and that bill is still on my M/C credit card bill which I will get around the 4th of next month.

98Ultr--You asked if everything else was ok, and it appears to be, just can't preset CB channels, radio channels work fine. So I am now manually on Ch 34 and that' where it will stay.

To VGTS4Q-- i didn't run the radio diagnostics.

Tanks for all the suggestions.

OBTW it cost me .5 hrs for the diagnostics.
