    Cobra 29 T1 transformer specifications

    Cobra 29 LTD Frequency Mod (+Counter)

    This is just the basic idea. Credit should go to CBphreaker whos excellent work and kind mentorship brought these mods to light. A.) Disconnect the 10.240MHz signal from the TX mixer. Build a 10.695MHz oscillator and inject this signal into the mixer instead. Add a SPST switch (tied to...

    FCC should just open up 11meters as a Citizens experimental band.

    Yeah no worries Bow, I used the KF5INZ "Easy Digi" Soundcard interface purchased on eBay. The radio has an RS-232 Serial Connector mounted on the back panel, this connects to a few spots on the easy digi PCB tucked away inside. An onboard switching circuit connects to the radios p.t.t. TX...
