HI, woule anyone know if the S/RF meter out of a cobra 139 or a 142 would fit into the president washington? I can't find one for the washington but I found many parts radios (cobra) on Sleesbay?
Yep, a meter from a Cobra 139/142 will work in those President Washingtons, I've had to do some meter swapping in the past. If the Washington is the 3 button model, with the S/RF/Mod button, then the meter from a 139/142 doesn't have the markings in it to show the modulation percentage, but the meter will still work fine. Good luck!
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
