For some reason my Uniden 510 CB started acting odd. It powers up fine but the usual static that I would get with the squelch off isn't there. I can hear a little noise, but not the full static I would hear normally. The ANL doesn't seem to change anything and it's also not receiving. Oddly enough, I think its transmitting because I got a thumbs up during a radio check with a trucker friend. I've swapped antennas and cables but no change. The funny thing is that it comes and goes but this condition is more frequent on mornings. Anyone familiar with this problem?
 
I also have a Uniden and I know the static you are talking about I think. Is it the usual static that comes on when you start your car? Other than that the waves change, and that is why your squelch is adjustable. It very well could be normal, but you should check the SWR reading just in case. If something goes wrong with your antenna, it can fry our radio.
 
This was the problem. Seems a capacitor was loose.
