1 CB Radio not functioning - white noise only
I’m trying to get a CB radio (~27MHz) up and running but I’m a bit of a novice. I believe I have the correct equipment, but on all 40 channels I only get white noise of varying strengths. I live in the middle of a city so I would expect to hear something. I will list my equipment below in hopes that that is the issue, other wise I am open to any troubleshooting steps people have in mind. Thanks in advance!

A few extra notes:
- I have turned on the radio without the antenna connected and I do not hear anything. I would think this rules out electrical interference.
- I have plugged in an external headset and get the same results, so I believe that rules out an issue with the internal speaker.
- I have tried placing the setup in my basement, outside my house, and in my garage. No luck in any location.
- My antenna is new, so it is unlikely to be damaged. My connections are in good condition.
- I have taken the cover off and looked inside; no obvious signs of damage (I can send a picture if someone desires)
