@sonoma, your the man! Exactly what I was in need of. Too bad the manufacturer doesn't put this is the service manual. Would have saved me some time. I owe you a cold one! (y)

Got this older Cobra 29 for free. It had a broken leg on the audio chip so I replaced the chip and now it works. So not much into this one. Someone had molested this radio in my terms. Put a T.B., Echo board and noise toy. I've managed to get most of it back the way it should be except for the...

I havent put my eyes on the board in a while but i think it had more wires. Anyway, we will find out and thanks. Ill let you know.

OK Great. I figured it was about that simple. I just hadnt looked closly at it yet. I got one still in a radio and one i took out of a radio but didnt mark any thing. Thanks for the input. I might just jump on this experiment tonight. Will post up when i do and let you know the outcome. Thanks...

Ive got a couple scrape galaxy cb radios and a few old cobras and got cobras working. Want to know if the echo boards from galaxys can be installed in coberas and if yes, some instruction would be nice. Ive installed many aftermarket echos in cobras but never tried this. Can you help?

Im going to be buying a 5/8 wave vertical and want to put it anove my 3L Steppir. Im thinking ill put the ground plane elements at differant angles to the steppir to cut down on the reaction between them. But what id like to know is anyone who might have this same configuration can tell me the...

Thank you both for the replys. I didnt realize that the i10k was only being built at soecial times and may no longer be avalible. Just fount that out. And i see 543 used pop rivits too. I just think that will keep the elements from moving better than a hose clamp. I did see some changes listed...

I see what ur saying. I think i will spend the extra bucks and go this other route. Im just a cheep bastard have have a hard time letting go of my hard earned cash. I checked out that antenna and it sounds like a solid investment. Do you or anyone else know of other antennas on the market...

I guess i am re-engineering the thing but hadnt thought of it this way. If someone owns one of these antennas can tell me if the tophat uses a threaded top section or is a nut mounted in the top section somehow? I also had the problem of radials breaking off. Not the spinning problem. Another...

My W58 came off the roof pushup pole one time too many and its time to replace it. Been looking at the SPT 500. Had a few questions for the antenna pros on this site. Ideas I've had. Would like to know if what I'm thinking will work or is correct. I'm not a person with lots of antenna knowledge...

its on eBay now ending this eve. and no bids yet.

Here's a couple pics.

THINKING of selling my MK4. In excellent condition and working 100%. I don't have the OEM mic any longer but the radio is 100% original besides a few replaced tubes. It is used every couple weeks just to keep it working well. If I was to sell it would there be any interest in it? I see a few...

Well i signed up. Dont see anything in my title that shows it. Maybe ill try again.

Im in. Will have to see if i can find someone on the 455

Now that I got a good working mic. I now what to make the MK4 Ping. The older versions MK3 and the 2 had a cool ping/squeal sound when you keyed up. from what I read it was a feedback or something between the RX and the TX not stopping and starting quick enough. But not too sure. I did some...

Well I did some checking and found that if I put a resistor in the audio wire and cut it back a bit I made it not squeal anymore. But the audio on this banana mic was not what I was wanting. It works just fine, just not what I wanted. I dug around in a box of old mics looking for something I...

I have not. I'll check into that when i get home. Of cource ill have to rewire it.
