    Cobra 29 ltd classic staying keyed up?

    So I have a 2016 cobra 29 ltd classic and when I turn the radio on it shows 4 watts without keying the mic and the tx/rx light stays green. I key the mic and the tx/rx light turns red and I have good modulation. I release the mic, the light goes back green and I still have 4 watts on the meter...

    Cobra 29 modulation adjustment.

    Yeah 10-4, with d-11 snipped it does look like shit on a scope. Spreading coils isn't necessary on every radio. All I'm saying is every cobra radio I've gotten from a pro had the coil spread a certain way and it looked good on a scope. Maybe somebody knows something that you'll don't know.

    Cobra 29 modulation adjustment.

    Keep in mind screwdriver was top of his class with hodors in All I'm saying is every radio I've gotten from a "pro" had the coil spread on a cobra. Keep in mind this guy graduated with honors in military communication. So just some food for thought. 73s

    Cobra 29 modulation adjustment.

    I've had nothing but good reports and screwdriver tweaks every single cobra coil he sells. May but not be necessary everytime but it's obviously not hurting the performance of the radio. If it did hurt the radio, make it look bad on a scope and make it sound like hell.... why would screwdriver...

    Brand new galaxy dx 959 no modulation?

    My post was all in good fun. I was just giving a jab for a jab. No ill intentions. I know it's hard to decipher ones personality via text message. I'm by no means an expert but I'm not a complete retard either. I have successfully troubleshooted cb radios circuits in the past, I'm just not very...
