Realistic TRC-49 Navaho Pro Niner Base/Mobile 23 channel CB Radio

Description

This Navajo Pro-Niner works fine. I hooked it up to a 4 foot mobile antenna and put it in the window and i could get good reception. When I keyed the mic, the meter jumped and the “on-the-air” light lit, and the “modulation” light flickered. In addition, for some reason, my Bluetooth speaker was getting the signal. There was no one close enough to hear me on the CB. The only people I could pick up (I think) were quite a distance away. The antenna is NOT included in this sale. I only used it to verify functionality of the Pro-Niner.
The power switch incorporated in the volume control does not work, there is a toggle switch installed (see pic).
