Try another ariel if you can - that will at least eliminate the coax, connections, CB etc.

Try moving the ariel - position can make a difference. Is the mounting well grounded. Can the length be altered as well as the tuning rings.

At the end of the day it will work at 2.3 (not brilliantly I admit) and shouldn't damage anything - but it would be better to get below 2.0. Other than this I cannot say - it's a good 10+ years since my CB radios saw the light of day.
