Never adjust the internals components of a cb unless you know exactly what you are doing. The warning indicator is letting you know that your swr is hi. This can be an issue with your coax, with the antenna, or it may be a bad connection. None of these will require you to open a radio and work on it. Look for videos about adjusting the antenna, and checking the coax.
@@moonchildofficial6918there can be several reasons for this issue. It can be an intermittent connection issue, the coax may have gotten water in an unsealed end, or the antenna may need tuning.
@@sprrwprnts making adjustments or changes, especially when you don't know anything about electronics, is not permitted to be done by an unauthorized end user.
Also, another comment i would like to make a point of...thank you for being a Truck Driver, and getting our commodities, whatever you are hauling from point a,to point b, because just like Military,First Responders,and Truck Drivers,is part of the reasons for our country to stay alive and very well, because we need them to live each day of our lives...

I'm a self owned 2018 Kenworth w-900L/ 346" wheelbase..I'm very much at home while driving her from all four corners of the United States, this year will be my 41st anniversary! As a trucker. Yes" I'm old school when it comes to CBs I use a Cobra 29 LTD classic with dual 2000 Wilson antennas because when im driving in between canyons and mountains I couldn't have better interception, if you buy a setup like this be sure to tune your CB with your antennas... Great video my friend be safe!!....
I owned and operated a radio shop for 20 years plus back in the 80's and 90's at Tiger Truck stop on I-10 in Grosse Tete , La. There is something wrong with your antenna system , 3 things can go wrong , the antenna itself is bad or needs retuning [ SWR ] , the coax or the stud that the antenna screws into.... You cannot set the SWR [ Standing wave ratio ] at the radio itself , you can CHECK the SWR with the built in SWR meter ..... That VR you turned with your knife is just an adjustment meant for a service technician ..... I reopened a small shop in Eunice, La...... Looking for a bigger building with Truck access ....
I don't know why ppl mess with stuff they don't understand. I've been watching alot of videos and the best solution is to take it to a tech who knows what they are doing.
@@danielseghers8214 I remember them well , back in 95 i think it was the female tiger gave birth to 2 cubs ...... I had 1 of them spoiled ....... Sadly when the owner finally lost his battle with whomever , and the tigers went to some kind of fenced in area refuge , lost interest in the truck stop business and sold everything ....... You would not recognize the truck stop today ...... Google map it and you will be shocked ...........
The radio says antenna warning, because suddenly the radio is having a problem? The antenna warning means you need to check the antenna. The warning keeps you from burning up the output of the radio. But now you adjusted the radio so the warning doesn't work. And you still have an antenna problem......
I think you just need to recalibrate it. My whip broke off one time and it said antennae warning too. I put a new antennae on, recalibrated it and it stopped saying it after awhile. I don’t think you need to take it apart.
Wow Shelia you have a lot of skills my dear that’s awesome I enjoy your videos I learn , laugh ,cry and smile all in one day. Thank you for sharing. Love always ❤❤❤.
@truckergal when I bought my Volvo the antenna it had was way to short. I knew for a fact it wasn't a factory antenna. When I plugged 8n my CB i had the same antenna warning. I have the same exact cb. I did what she did in this video and then tuned it, and it worked perfectly. I went ahead later on and bought a new antenna, mount, and copper coax, and redid the whole system. Works like charm.
I had the same problem with my Cobra as well. I ended up using my points at a truck stop for a Uniden PC78LTX. Cheap but works better than the Cobra. I also tried to upgrade to a couple Bearcats, and still ended up going back to the cheap’o Uniden. Paired with Road King noise canceling mic and a pair of Wilson T2000 antennas. Works like a charm and I get out about 4-5 miles. Didn’t cost anything since I used points for it all. Good luck with your radio situation. Love your videos.
Calm me partial, but I've had the Cobra 29/ LTD Chrome radios the last 10 years. Since I'm in a 2021 Freightliner that lacks a descent roof antenna, I installed (hid) an 18' coax cable running to a 4' antenna on the passenger-side. I just make sure to calibrate it every week. Glad to see you "have" a radio!
There’s a cb radio shop in Grand Island Nebraska at the pilot. Resteraunt vape shop massage and tattoo parlor in the same building. With like 20 showers. Love that truck stop. There’s also one in Gary Indiana at that pilot to. I just picked up the same radio today and having the same issues. Thank you for the video!
I check SWR first and maybe adjust at antenna. I’ve heard stock antennas aren’t the best and the antenna is 90% of the signal. And I take a Cobra to CB shop and get it peaked and tuned.
Had the same problem and found after replacing the antennas it fixed the problem. Cheap factory antennas. Also just picked up a new 2023 T880 and it came with a bad radio. That’s what you get today after spending 200k
Love your videos girl. Gatekeeper from @Gatekeeperamps here I love how you do what most would say is a man's job but no mam its a job for anyone and you show that very well. Maybe one day I'll get to say hello to you in skip land!
The radio is telling you your antenna is messed up. A new antenna will take care of that. Turning screws in the radio will get the radio all out of tune. I have a radio just like yours. It is best to use a SWR meter to check your antenna. To get your radio back in adjustment you will have to take it to the shop. If you keep talking on it you will blow the finals in it.
First thing you should check like another person posted was get an swr meter and check, that the radio your using has a built in way to chk, not a substitute for a good meter but it helps. drove Volvos before most new trks have what’s called a multiplexer usually driver side antenna is cb and passenger side is your am/ fm the multiplexer splits signal. May not be anything wrong with radio might be coax, multiplexer, or antenna
I see you trying to fix your CB box, 🚛🚚hope you can get it up and running 🙏👍Shelia 🚛🚚with prayer and luck 10/4 you can do this dear , my faith is with you 🙂🚛🚚take care be safe 🚚🚛👍🌹dear .
An old driver could do some serious trucking with a simple old skool radio and a firestik antenna. Not anymore, most drivers don't communicate that way today. But it sure is nice to key up and get some info.
Pleas tell me that you went to a CB shop and the fixed the issue? The antenna warning is that the SWR on the antenna is not set correctly. What you did when you adjusted the core in the load next to the antenna jack was change your output ever so slightly. You need to have a shop set your SWR and re-align the radio.
You got to recalibrate it on your screen put it in calibrate stopping at the first little line about 3/4 of the way over and try that that's what I do with mine I got the same radio
It will need too be recalibrated ( your running an all digital radio, if you were running one of the older styles with the meter already built in that wouldn't happen. But you should be able to pickup a calibration meter and take care of it. Or stop by any CB shop they should be able to take care of it pretty quick.
You need to go to a cb shop and have the radio tuned and buy new antennas and new coax and have them set the SW yours on the new antennas and coax. That’ll fix your problem.
Just so you know, by doing this all you are doing is adjusting the threshold for the warning light and not fixing the problem. You would do just as well with putting tape over the light. If you are not tuning the antenna system, you are not fixing the problem. Changing the antenna or antennas will not fix the problem. You are just putting on another untuned antenna. Most reputable CB shops will adjust the antenna to a usable SWR. No your radio is not going to immediately blow up but high SWR will shorten the life of it and effect the range of transmit and receive.
Good video. Allow me a suggestion, enable the CC icon at the bottom of your video. Some folks have hearing difficulties; by clicking the CC icon now they can read what is being stated.

Hey not sure what kind of antennas you’re using Francis antennas work great You need to get your swr as low as you can almost to nothing You should have a calibration setting on it on one of your knobs That warning was because of the swr was too high Get your antennas as high as you can also away from the body of the truck if at all possible Those Francis antennas are all fiberglass and work great for that. No adjustment needed . Get you a road king 66 mic 🎤 also Will make your radio sound completely different as it’s a noise canceling mic Some get a kit and have the antennae mounted with new wiring that really does a good job and will make your radio sound amazing.

If your radio was working, I can't understand after hearing that voice coming over the airwaves , seems like radios would be keying up all over the area 🤗 IMO could possibly be an antenna problem or calibration issue 🤷 Hope you got it working and having a great day 💞🙏
Have a cb shop help you. You adjust antenna or antennas, never from inside radio. Those are great radios and can last very long time. It has built in radio check in menu, and calibrate button on the left. You just need to be taught. Good luck with it 👍
good music, and although I did this on the radio. I think I started with a driver and then I started with all the transistors. In the end I had to change the radio. I'm still trying to calibrate my radio. I think I'll take it to big rig radio. Thanks for the idea anyway. you also have nice hair
Bad SWR. If channel 1 is higher than channel 40 lengthen the antenna. If channel 40 is higher than channel 1 shorten the antenna. Swr Should be under 2 ...1.2 would be great. You might have to install your own coax and antenna.. the factory ones Will not work well
Hmmmm, my cobra was saying the same thing when I was driving a Kenworth long nose truck, then I went back to being a driver for a company and a different truck, and now when I use my cb radio, it doesn't say that anymore 🤷♂️
Hope your Radio worked after this... Next time it happens... Do Not go into the Radio... Check your Antenna adjustments... Let us know how it turned out...Im a Radio Guy and am interested how you made out .... Enjoy the channel Thank You
ooof. People. Don't do this. This is not the way. Ohm out the coax, then ohm out the s0239 ends on each side of the truck. If those are good then your antennas are broken or out of adjustment(wrong length for the frequency being transmitted on because they have broken coil/wire/whip)
I have a radio for you that will treat you well and I'll show you how to calibrate your antenna properly. 🤣 Thanks for your hard work. Wire isn't right or antenna is too short or too long
I say people are not cooperating I've been trying for days and days to get my cobra up and running no response to radio check I think people just think it's cool to have antennas hanging off their truck and CB radios for looks they think it's cool but they don't use them
