There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
CB issues - Can transmit but not receive

Are you using a wired headset or bluetooth? If you are using a wired headset I would first suspect that the cord might be bad. If you know someone with a working one, try using the there's first to see if the problem goes away.

Does it show Rx when the other person is transmitting? If not check your antenna. Does the other person receive your signal?

How old is your CB unit? Sounds like it could be defective. The stock antenna cannot be tuned, but that has no effect on receiving anyway. For what it might be worth to you here are links to my threads discussing various CB problems.

Transmit and Receive
Ummmm.... are you sure the other person is actually transmitting? Do you have another CB handy that can confirm their transmit?

If your squelch is all the way down, do you hear static/white noise.
If not and your volume is up then your receiver in the CB is probably defective.

He still should see the Rx on the screen even with volume all the way down.

Accessory warranty, genuine BRP item, is one year parts and labor when installed by the dealer. One year parts only if installed by someone other than the selling dealer. Don't count on it being fixed by next week. The dealers can't repair the CB and they normally don't stock them so they won't have one to replace it with.The bike is a 2015. I ended up making an appointment and left it with a dealer to look at. I'm hoping it is a warrenty item and I'm taking a 5 day trip with it next week, I'd like to have it fixed for the trip.

It isn't, but the entire system of bike and antenna is far, far, from ideal. The factory setup has a SWR around or over 3. There isn't enough metal on the Spyder to get it any lower. I kind of think the radio is designed to tolerate a high SWR even though that goes against all the design principles of a CB setup. IMO, the high SWR is why the Spyder CB has such a reportedly poor transmission range.
If you want to get the best out of the Spyder CB I think you'll have to go the route I did and install a no ground plane antenna. But that presents its own issues. I can't say for absolute certainty but it seems I have about as good a range as my Goldwing fellow riders do.
If you haven't read them yet, I discuss the NGP antenna installation in one of the threads I link to above.
