I have a Cobra 29 .
The problem is it shows no output watts on the watt meter, or on the radios meter.
When you key up the mic in SWR/CAL it will not move the needle on the radio.
All so if the CB is in SRF mode it will not move the needle on the external watt meter.
I can here myself through the Talk back.
I put a scope on the Final and the driver and I see RF on both.
I all so checked the final (2078) with my DVM and it checked good.
I all so checked the final with my transistor tester and it tested good.
Has anyone seen this before.
I have a extra cb on bench and no antenna on it I can here my self on the bench cb when I key up but no watts on radios meter or watt meter .
Thanks in advance for any help troubleshooting this problem. |

How much (Peak to peak) does the scope show on the finals?
Is this into a dummy load or antenna??
When connected to an antenna, can other people hear and how far away??

in your mobile or someone else does drive around
