Had a Cobra 29 given to me and when I hooked it up and checked my SWR's everything worked fine except for when I try to talk. I can hear everything but cant transmit. When I key up, my meter barely moves. Anyone got any advice?

Check your swr,if that is good sub in a mic(just cause it is new doesnt mean anything) if that isnt it then you need to have someone look at the radio,if you dont know anyone let me know

SWR's are good, but I will try that with the mic. Where are you located popcorn?

Popcorn, If it is a final than the leedle shouldn't move... least that is my experience with blown radios... Brent

You can't trust the meters they go out all the time so it is hard to go buy that.

Can the final be fixed, or is it better to just get a new radio? Kinda hate to get rid of it since my dad gave it to me

Hate to say it , but your better off getting a new radio thats unless you know a repairman good.
Not say this is what happened But NEVER key a Radio without a antenna conected and hooked up. that will blow the finals 95 % of the time
