    148gtl NW ST Soundtracker low AM power

    Just watched the video, interesting on how simple to get a circuit to power the display. Like you said the display might be bad and im satisfied that the radio is working now. Cobra/Uniden should of had a better supply or way to illuminate the displays in these radios. Almost everyone has gone...

    148gtl NW ST Soundtracker low AM power

    Well after screwing around and playing with pin 3 I was able to put a diode on pin 3 inside the radio in series with the wire to pin 3. and now the noise box will work properly as it should. I want to use this 148 as a test radio because ssb and also its a 4 pin, all boxes are wired for 4 pin...

    148gtl NW ST Soundtracker low AM power

    Brandon. Here is how the box works. It has an SD card mp3 player. I have designed the boards so there is a reverse and forward search buttons on the box. And also and auto advance when you key the mic a different sound will play every time or you can lock your favorite sound. The way the...

    148gtl NW ST Soundtracker low AM power

    So i was back at the radio and removed the Night Watch module. Then had to figure the wires and voltage for the channel display/meter and the LEd for receive and transmit all is good in that department. Still having problems on the mic on pin 3 im getting 1.4 volts in receive nothing in...

    148gtl NW ST Soundtracker low AM power

    The reason I asked for the voltage is I use a noise toy box on my cobra 29 and works great for 5 years, I tried on this 148 and will not key up. The pin 3 does not go to ground when keyed. So the sd card box will work with a manual push of a switch but will not key auto pin 3 needs to see ground...

    148gtl NW ST Soundtracker low AM power

    Brandon I'll have to look and see if i can unplug the module that is mounted to the side covering the pll area. I guess the nightwatch was a big big failure for these radios. Why not illuminate the front with leds or some type of fiber optic.

    148gtl NW ST Soundtracker low AM power

    The original regulator was all plastic and did not need any insulators. With the tip41mit has the metal back so I have to add the mica insulators and used plenty of thermal grease. Yes I can give that a try im going back down to the radio and see if it steel or aluminum its mounted to.
