i had it installed in my truck since i got it, had no problems till recently when it starting picking 2 bars of noise from the truck and it's own buttons can be heard on the reciever. what can be done about this? does the CPU need to be reset or something worse. |

I came across a problem like that a while back with M-257. The customer told me that it was working fine for a few weeks and then one day it started picking up some plug noise.
With the radio on and the engine running, I then disconnected the coax from the back of the set. The radio went dead. That told me immediately that the ground wire on the power cord had become disconnected. After hooking the ground wire back up, the radio of course powered up. And after reconnecting the coax, the noise was gone.
I'm not saying you have a poor ground, but it sure wouldn't hurt to chect it out for possible corrosion especially if it's hooked directly to the battery.
Just thought I would relate that little story to you in the event it may also be your problem. It's well worth the look.

i got the positive right to the battery, solid connection, and the neg to a ground bolt under the dash. worked well until recently. ill be sending the radio into RF limited soon to have the #2 call button replaced. one thing they'll have to fix on a new model. with that button missing, im stuck in the 10 meter band and we all know thats no fun for an unlicensed op |

well ••••! the computer got the worm they've been talking about on tv, and i cant keep it on long enough to go to windowsupdate.com to do anything about it. at least i have webtv as a backup. do get alot of "page too big to be shown completely" which means i cant get down to the "create new conversation" but its better than nothing |

CB makers have totally gone downhill except a few like midland, cherokee, and other oddball brands |
