    Cobra 29 direct injected squealing problem

    If I'm not mistaken, the only XLR on the mbox is an input. I'll double check to make sure. I had been using both 1/4" jacks on the back ran parallel into my cap and c37 then ground to ground. Like I said, I'll check it out. I got aggravated last night with it. I recently had an AL-80B blow on...

    Cobra 29 direct injected squealing problem

    Direct injection is coming from a Digidesign Mbox 2 and protools. The reason I'm running this radio is because my 142 quit on me and I just want something to use until I get it back up. Yes they are on separate power supply's.

    Cobra 29 direct injected squealing problem

    I have a cobra 29 that I've direct injected. When the radio is barefoot with no extra power, it works fine. As soon as turn on even a 2-transistor linear, I get a major squeal in the audio. I'm thinking it could be my variable dead key I have installed in the radio (tip29/25v 220uf...

    Ameritron AL80-B blowing fuse on power up

    Well I still have no idea what could be causing the issue. It does it with the tube out completely. I'm thinking rectifier or caps. At least I've got my problem narrowed down. Thanks for your alls help.

    Not sure what the mod is called to broadcast on multiple channels...

    Thanks NOMAD. Like I said, I find the modification fascinating. I know a few people in eastern Kentucky use it to play "Foggy Mountain Break Down" I guess to try and plug people up on the 11-meter band. Especially Frosty. Thank you for that info. It's greatly appreciated. There is a definit...

    Galaxy DX959 "swing" help

    I don't need to modify SSB. A swing kit or NPC mod would not effect SSB at all since, 1, SSB is no carrier and all modulation driven and 2, I'm only working with the AM side of the radio. I have no swing with the barefooted radio. And I'm getting backward swing with my 4-pill. The rf power only...
