Default Re: CB won't even pick up static, transmits at half power.

Because antenna and coax issues do not cause the speaker to stop producing sound with the squelch all the way down. I didn't suggest he transmit without the antenna or coax connected.

We also don't know what that meter is actually indicating on transmit. If it is indicating watts, then the coax center conductor was probably shorted to ground causing the transmitter to reduce to minimum power. This however does not explain the other problems he was having and continued to have. Which leads back to my initial suggestion that the radio is toast.
