    Cobra 148gtl on USB/LSB the famous garble problem

    Cobra 148gtl on USB/LSB the famous garble problem

    I did adjust the vco both ways and still the bad audio on ssb. Like I said I did the proper alignment with the bias and back off vr 11 for ssb. On vr 11 ssb if I back it down to almost no ssb power you can hear the audio clear up. So either the ssb power is over loaded or ssb is starving for...

    Cobra 148gtl on USB/LSB the famous garble problem

    I did not check the vco voltage. The vco seems to be ok as I did a little adjustment to it and the radio has the full 40 channel band with no dropped channels and full power across the 40 channels. I will check that out for the voltage before I button up the radio. thanks

    Cobra 148gtl on USB/LSB the famous garble problem

    I hope I tried every alignment and tweaking up and tweaking down the power to see if it would help and nothing. Like I said AM is fine when on ssb sounds garbled and the front meter light dims when talking So I think it is a power problem and hope your video fix will work. thanks Bob In Boston
