I've got two older (Taiwan) Cobra LTD WX Classics, one of them is a 29 LTD and the other is a 25 LTD.
I have a weird problem going on with BOTH of them, and that is:
When each of the radios is switched OFF, yet connected to a CONSTANT 13.8 VDC source, from time to time, occasionally, the radios will MOMENTARILY fire up, thus making a somewhat loud POPPING sound in the speaker.
My research on these radios indicated that this MIGHT be a WX alert feature, alerting me to switch to the WX bands. However, whenever I switch to WX, and receive the only two (2) NOAA WX stations I can hear from my location, there is NO ALERT.
Also, the 25 seems to do this more so than the 29 does.
Also, regardless of whether I'm receiving the CB band OR the WX band, from time to time I will hear this loud POP in the speaker, which of course happens intermittently....
What gives? Where should I be looking to fix this???
Thanks
