I'm rather disappointed with my new PC68LTX CB radio. I purchased it back during the holidays 6 months ago with a gift card.
This was to replace a Uniden PRO510XL from the 1990s. That radio still operated OK but the internal speaker failed.
So yesterday I finally decided it was upgrade time. Much to my disappointment, the new radio has no transmitter output. The LED switches from green to red when keyed but no RF. Not any signal on my SWR meter or S meter on the radio. Nothing heard on my other vehicle either. Swapped mics also, no change.
For now, the old radio is back in with the external speaker and all is well. I'm past the Amazon return window by months. Lesson learned, test new purchases right away.
