Good info and great explanation of how it works but not sure it helps me fix my problem. R131 and TR24 are new and spec so its not that. Not sure why the diode would be bad but I suppose that could be it. And given that it doesn't appear that the AMC or ALC do anything and you said that both...
What is the gauge of the solid wire in my Cobra 2000, say for the jumpers? I was looking to buy a roll of solid (I have lots of stranded) but I didn’t know what gauge to buy. Thanks.
So I was restoring this 2000 back to stock in the audio by replacing TR24 so I can adjust the AM modulation.
After putting it back I still could not adjust the modulation and then I Noticed that R131 was also missing and and R124 and 126 were changed to 4.7k. So I replaced 131 with a new 10k...
No I don’t have a TRC radio. Still unclear how to mount these. I’m hoping the ones there are not bad in the first place. I did switch them out from a Cobra 140 that I know was working prior. So I’m not going to touch those for now. What is the green and white dots on them? I assume that is...
Yeah I get all that about this part. The issue again is that it appears to be damaged. I need to know where to find another one. I don’t think this is a part I can buy like other components

What is the purpose of L44 in my radio. It’s a little black ring/circle with 3 leads tiny leads into the board but it looks like at least one lead is broke. Not sure how critical it is or how Ling it’s been like that. It’s so small don’t know if I can even do anything with it. Also do you...
thank you , I truly appreciate the help and patience. Wish I had you guys sitting here next to me-would make things much easier lol!
Weird question- I was trying to find a replacement for D50 online. I think NTE601 is a sub for MV-1Y. But that part just looks like a regular diode/resistor with...
Thanks. There was some black shit in the board near L43 covering the board label so I couldn’t see it and the Sam’s facts pics didn’t show it. But either way it look fine, doesn’t look popped that I can tell. I actually had pulled d49 and 50 out of my parts radio before so I don’t think they...
Long story but had a banana clip lead attached to inside radio. Other snd touched the ground lit in a power supply. The frequency counter/clock went out. Didn’t check the rest of radio but first glance no other obvious issue.
Any place to start to look for the issue?
Looks like R182 is a 210 from best I can tell ( brown red brown) . Did you mean C214? I had replaced it previously when I recapped it but I did again. The driver is a 1306. I replaced VR9 as well. I cannot find L43. I see it on the schematic but don’t see it on board. Can you point it out? But...
