no sound from CB radio.

Where do i check first?

took antenna apart at mounting post

No loose , broken wires that I could see

Had right fairing off a while ago to replace right speaker and saw no loose , un hooked wires , leads

FM radio works

CB radio lights up

Channels work

but NO sound , no static , nothing!

is it the controller box? switcher?

PTT switch? thanks guys

MIKE Q I should at least hear static right??

[KeithR]

You did check the squelch level ?

[mytquin007cox.net]

all lights working

RX

TX

cant hear a thing

ajusted it till i saw the RX light come on

turn too much Rx light goes off

when i hit the PTT switch i see the TX light go on

then RX come on, but HEAR nothing

to answer question yes i did adjust squelch

oh well was hopeing it was something simple

i guess i will be tearing intothe right hand and left hand fairing this winter

and seeing if some connectoerhas come loose

I am thinking switcher?/controler box

any one have any other ideas?

hi

check the black box under the trunk. for any loose connections like the motroial male/female connection, mine had come loose. i did the marshell mod before i found this loose connection.

MiKE Q

If so I am on my way out to look now

I was hopeing it was something simple!

keep fingers crossed

yes its right under the trunk in the middle of the rack that the trunk bolts down to. has two rubber straps across the top of black to hold top bown and water tight. hops this helps. this is also a good time to check for any cracks, should not be any if the mode has been done. i not sure about a 1992 rsv, mine is a 1999 rsv

hi michael

i'am so sorry that i gave you any wrong info about the location of your cb radio control box. in my haste to help i gave you the wrong info. i have a 2'nd gen and you have a 1'st gen. i amy truly sorry this sounded so much like the problem i was haveing. and it may still be the same connection by not the same location.

again i'am so sorry hope it's a easy fix.

Nope, you will not find it there, but you will find the compressor for the CLASS, below the trunk mount, under a black cover. Other work to be done there at a later time (drying out the dessicant).

 

The CB is in the right fairing & there is a cable that connects it to the amp in the left fairing.

Check your post and email on the Venturers Site... Answered both there ..

 

PS, make sure your mute button isn't activated on the passenger controller or

the main handlebar controller .. More I think about this, the more I am leaning

toward a stuck squelch pot. If you try to talk with someone close by, it should

break the squelch .. Still, it could be the antenna, splitter or coax has given

out due to age ..

i bought a NOS antenna on ebay

it does not have that "bug" thing half way up antenna.

what does that thing do anyway? boost signal?

i am going to work out this cb issue eventually.

thanks for all your help guys.

mine was spinning around like other people here were complaing also (when trying to tighten)

any electronic gurus live near Falls Church VA ?maybe i could ride by your house or you to miner?

needed to add question/spelling

[MiCarl]

I just caused the exact same problem on mine. Had the CB out to work on the fairing and forgot to reattach the DIN cable that goes from the CB to the amp.

I wonder, do you have the handle bar box, set to Headset, instead of speakers?
