∙ 8y agoA few reasons. For one, CB radio isn't as popular now as it was in the 70s. If you're talking to truckers (or trying to), asking for a radio check is typically a sign of a rookie, and they'd rather not be bothered with you. A lot of drivers keep their CBs off now, because there's a lot of "radio Rambo" nonsense going on, people acting childish on them, etc. You may not be on the correct channel.... 19 is typically used as a "default" in most of the US and Canada, while 17 tends to be popular in So. California. You might not have your radio in the right mode... if you have an 'export' radio, you might be on the wrong band, you might be in FM rather than AM, etc. You might also be in an area which is dead for CB traffic. You hear more chatter on the East Coast.. not so much in places like Colorado (believe me, I know what it's like trying to get someone to answer you in this state), rural areas of Texas, New Mexico, Nebraska, Montana, the Dakotas, etc.

You try to unlock the car stereo for montero 1997 with the code but it wont work?
first, is it a Mitsubishi Motors stereo? Where did you get the radio code? If you still have the card key with the radio code on it check all the numbers and try again. It should work. If you looked up the radio code using the serial number from the radio itself (stamped on deck itself you have to pull dash panel to get at radio) check the serial number, check code and try again. Make sure you are starting at the right preprogram buttons when inputting code.
