Hi, I'm new to this forum and need help. In April 2009 I purchased a used 1800 Gold Wing. I checked theCB when purchased and it was transmitting. I never use the radio except when I ride in a group. The problem: When the bike is side by side I do not get reception and I can not transmit. When we are 5 to 8 bikes away the same problem. I can only send and receive when I am approximately 50 feet apart and when I do my volume is very low and static. I have had the SWR checked by a professional and they brought it within the range, but it was not that far out. I have checked all wires and connections and everything looks fine. The problem is still present. On my old bike, a 1999 Valkyrie Interstate I did not have problems with the CB and was usually the clearest in the group.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
