    COBRA 148 GTL Review

    we who have been in this hobby long enough already know the older 5 pin versions are superior over these newer versions. It's just good to know that the newest of these 148's are better then they were and there's hope on the horizon for this old classic. I thought there was still even better...

    COBRA 148 GTL Review

    This is what was explained to me SW , that the newer ones I have spoke of have done something with that regulator to stabilize it better , or changed it to something else. I honestly don't know about this Robb 148 because it looks like a 08 model , IM no tech , but the tech I deal with pretty...

    COBRA 148 GTL Review

    Hmmmm , well , Cobra sent it to him , cool. Anyway , IM guessing from the label that this radio is possibley a 2008 model , Here tell once again that the newer models from late 2009 to now are being made slightly better , that's what I said , slightly better. But there's alot of old stock out...

    Hey Bob ? and your point is ? , many do cap/resistor mods , it don't matter weather the limiter is cut or not , does the same damn thing , I kind of like that cut the trace on the bottom of the board routine :lol: Auh yes , I would call that making ones self feel better about it , or they were...

    RF Limited CR-577 Mic Review

    well LC , I suppose we can only do so much , IM sure we will just have to hear one or get one when they are available. But as I said , anything to replace the 575M6 and the cost they get from those used , would be a pleasure to me. And if they truly turn out to be as good as was said to me ...

    Cobra 29 ltd VR6?

    Well , if your getting into the radio in the first place , and doing this and that to it (whatever this and that is ?) I would trust that SWR meter about as far as I could spit , and that ain't far. Although it does give a guy something to go on . It goes for the transmit and receiver portion...

    RF Limited CR-577 Mic Review

    Talked with the main designer of this microphone today. And yes it is designed around the 575M6 , although my source asked to me anonomous , he surely knows his stuff. Time and trials from others will have to do in the mean time. Depending on how the radio is tuned and that a person has an...

    Shop Owners / Repair Techs

    The best tech's I have found over the last 25 years were more so low profile then not ........none of this Internet BS what so ever. NONE ! although I do understand it can be very good business for many and it is surely the sign of the times. (The shipping is the easy part. The hard part is...

    How to perform the 2sc2999 and Schottky diode swap

    I'll tell you what Carl , you ain't kidding when it comes to your local electronic stores and charging 2 dollars a piece for the diodes and 5 bucks for the transistor. There should be a law about those people charging 20 or more times the cost they paid for them. I mean I understand for...

    cobra 139xlr receive issues

    Old post I know ........Could or would a heavy signal received by given radio cause this front end over load ? if that's the case ? would this cause these "receive" protect diodes to blow ? Would this be the damage you speak of ? So in other words , the radio would recieve but kind of act as if...

    Texas Star DX 500V

    This is a great performing amplifier. You can change the pos and neg power wires to a bigger gage and lose the blade fuse and go to glass . Should give more and will give the 667 (1 x 4) a run for it's money running much smoother then the 667. 2879s = Amp Hogs P-A-B is right and Toll_Free can...

    turner +3B , SSK and expander 500 ???

    Turner's were surely decent mic's for there time. There was a lot of them , hand helds and desk mic's . You had dynamic , ceramic , some that sounded good on AM and others that didn't fair well on SSB and visa versa. (Many times it just depended on the radio they were being used on) Kind of...
