How to Troubleshoot a CB Linear Amp
- 1). Restart the CB radio by pressing and holding the "Power" button.
- 2). Move the amplifier to an ideal location, about 1 foot away from the CB radio. After 12 inches, the linear amplifier lacks appropriate power output.
- 3). Unscrew the connectors on the CB unit. Wait 30 seconds, and screw the connectors back onto the CB unit.
- 4). Examine the wiring of the linear amplifier to determine if any of the wires are loose. Disconnect and reconnect any loose wires.
- 5). Remove the CB radio's battery, and replace it with a new battery.
- 6). Disconnect the linear amplifier from the CB radio. Detach the coaxial cable from the amp's input jack. Disconnect the jumper cable from the CB radio's input amp. Wait 30 seconds, and reconnect the cables.
