{"text":"I recently bought myself a Cobra 29LX and Firestik KW3 antennas; after install and tuning, I am not hearing any chatter on channel 19, even sitting in a truck stop. Any trouble shooting suggestions since my carrier will not touch our CBs; I am about at the point of contacting a CB/audio shop for help?","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}
