Have you attached an SWR Meter? It is possible your Coax is broken and all you are effectively radiating from is the Coax rather than your Aerial.

I only got another taste of CB ...

If its been tweeked for more power, chances are it can be de-tweeked back to the standard 4w

I didn't really want to get involved in playing with pots :(

Well it just goes to show I shouldn't be so lazy, a quick search on Google brought this up

It's a Maycom EM-27 (I have two of them)

I want to run an Amplifier and my current Radio appears to peak at 8W and this will do the Amp no favours. I was trying to avoid having to buy an Attenuator

Does such a beast exist?
