Ok... short ride today and noticed I don't appear to be transmitting when I key the CB. The TX indicator on the dash shows when I press the transmit trigger, but I don't appear to be going out. Reception is fine... both in the headset & speakers... and I know it worked previously.
So something's obviously become unplugged,and I'm thinking either under the seat or under the left-side pocket? Am I on the right track? Opinions?
Thanks...

Tom, just for giggles, give a wack to the area just above the radio volume knob on the black vinyl collar and see if this changes anything. If so, than you need to clean the contacts on the connectors that go to the radio. I had a similar problem and when I "smacked" this area, it would then work. Larry shared with me the need to clean the contacts and it did the trick. Just sharing my experience. Your mileage may very.

Well, I gave it a slap or 2... still no joy. The RV site here is only about a mile away from the interstate, and I can't get anyone to reply to me on channel 19.
It's not a big issue since there's no one else around here that uses a CB anyway. One day I'll pull the seat & left pocket to check things out, and maybe even break down the left & right controls to give them a good cleaning too.

Just an update... Pulled the seat, pulled the left pocket. All appears good there. Still getting the TZ light and a ROGER BEEP when I try to transmit... but no voice.
Riding over to Tucson to see the fils at J&M. Maybe it's a broken headset wire.

We could have diagnosed this in the parking lot last weekend...only one helmet, Tom? Yeah, only one helmet with me on this trip... but I've also got a CB in my truck. The bike checked out ok, so the only things left were the headset, upper cord, or lower cord. Since they're all J&M, I figured I'd ride over and let them check it. Problem now corrected, and all is good.
