Find a good CB shop in your area toget your radio peaked and tuned. They can add amplifiers and many other features. There aren't that many CB shops as there used to be. Search online.

look around and find a good radio shop. be careful because doing this may void any warrenty that you might have.some manufacturers can do this also.

I just bought an RCI-2980WX and had it peeked and tuned along with new meter lights and a better reciever put in by Bellscb. Very high rated business for radio repair but often has a lot of back log. I also highly recommend Q5 Communications, odds are you'll have to ship your radio out as not many people do these services and have a good reputation.

You just have to take your cb to a cb shop and they have the equipment to do the modifying of the radio.

I have not had a problem. I agree with the other poster that cleaning contacts, then checking batteries and well they fit with contacts. It sounds like not making a tight connection. If contacts and batteries all look good, I would see if Midland can replace. Could be a factory mistake. My radios have been bumped around and used. They normally are solid well built units.

TAKE YOUR STUFF AND GET SOMEONE AT RADIO SHACK TO HELP YOU . Maybe the RS employee knows what they are doing, maybe not. Only way I know.

Yes you can use your remote. Where it says MOD, then use the direction buttons or use the MOD button on the speaker to FM and use the direction bot tons to change the stations. I hope this helps!

no idea, but how did you get a DIN tool stuck? ;) Actually, I never got the radio loose with the pair sent to me. Either the set is useless or the clips are already damaged.

The short answer is locating the antenna and hooking up the power. I took power directly to the battery. There is less RF interference that way. It's a great radio and has done good for about two years so far.

Sorry I can't help you. I could not actually get the radio to work properly i.e., there was NO volume. Must have been a defective unit. I returned it the day after I received it.

Yes, a good mic will help a lot. But you can help your radio by 50% if you get it peaked and tuned at a good radio shop. The factory settings are set so they will stay under FCC rules. A mic and peak & tuning is the first thing we do when we buy a new radio. Good luck

They ran out and sent me a kdc-mp355u instead but it should be the same. Hold down the numbers to set a station and use the arrows to tune it

Try to return the radio. Mine is dysfunctional as the SD port and the CD player have not worked since day 1. It's poorly built and not worth the headaches. Save some money up and purchase a higher quality radio. BOSS=Poor quality

I have had no problems with my Midland radios. I would contact Midland Tech right away and let them walk you through troubleshooting. If not battery contacts, it could be a manufacturing or component defect.

ChristopherThe nature of my problem was the new batteries that are been manufactured don't fit the radio and it did not recharge either!M. Schwab
