Wouxun Q10G - no CB reception?

[WRFQ704]

My Wouxun Q10G receives weather on WX channels but doesn’t receive anything on CB Channels. I haven’t tried to transmit yet but even when I go to the freeway to listen to truck traffic, I receive nothing! When I bought it, I understood it was already programmed for CB channels and when I turn it on, it appears to be programmed for those channels but I still hear nothing! When I look at some of the forums, I see guys asking about programming their Wouxun Q10G radio’s. I have another radio (TYT TH-8600) that I’ve programmed and never hear any GMRS channels on it from my home and I know it receives just fine because I use GMRS channels on it when I ride in Side by Side groups – so trying to see if I can receive GMRS on this radio from home won’t tell me anything as I’m not planning on riding with those groups anytime soon!

Should I be looking at programming software – or -- how do I fix it on my Wouxun Q10G!

The antenna that comes on the Q10G is a GMRS antenna, so it does not perform optimally on the CB channels.. .To "fix" it, you may want to try an antenna better tuned for CB.

Have you tried listening on AM and FM. The KG-Q10G can listen to CB on both.
