UPDATE! My mic was bad so SSB does work however NO AM carrier and I found that VR6 which should be to adjust AM output has been removed so this may be an easier fix if someone can tell me what to do for that so that I can get AM output. Thanks for any help. Adam
Hi all, I bought a Teaberry Stalker XV knowing that it was a gamble as it was untested. Receive is good but it has NO output AM or SSB. The relay clicks from receive to transmit but no output.The RX light goes off when I key up but the TX light does not come on but that of course could just be...
Hi all, I have a Cobra 139XLR that is working fine except the S meter needs adjustment. Yes, I know the S meter readings are subjective and not accurate in general but if someone can tell me which trimmer it is (VR??) I would be appreciative.
Thanks for any help

Thanks for any help.

Hi, all, I have a Cobra 139XLR (with the 858 chip) and when testing AM transmit I find the radio is a little off frequency. For example on Channel 20 which is 27.205mhz my radio read 27.2046mhz. I know it;s not a huge difference but I would like to adjust it and I tried adjusting CT6 which...
Hi all, I have a Cobra 139XLR with the 858 chip, for the clarifier mod someone posted above for one of the steps to attach purple wire to 8VDC, can someone tell me where I can grab that 8VDC? Thanks for any help. Adam
