    Cobra 29 Comp?

    Would some be ao kind as to inform me of what a comp 29 is?? I guess it's about power output but I see lots of members here that build some pretty hot 29's. Is there really more? Thanks in advance and I hope I've posted this in the correct section.

    Cobra 29 LTD Classic & Chrome FM Radios are Here

    I think you only need one output for TX fm and the other signal is just rx. But not 100% sure I could not help myself so I got the 5351b off ebay. Looking more and freq mods may be as simple as programming an eeprom.

    Cobra 29 LTD Classic & Chrome FM Radios are Here

    Well I think the si5351b might be a contender. I'm having trouble understanding the offset thing. Does that mean that the original signal is mixed with a 440khz signal to create "bands"? Will it provide access to the "A" channels and a freq counter? I know that the crystal mod doesn't provide...

    Cobra 29 LTD Classic & Chrome FM Radios are Here

    Right, we are talking about the new FM 29. I'm really interested in learning more about the offset mixing that NZ8N has described. I'm not sure why there are pictures of crystals. Isn't that for the older 29?

    Gosh, it almost seems easier do the poor man's freq mod on an older 29 and drop FM in it.

    Cobra 29LX Changed Again

    Thank you for the info. Yes, I have a copy of the PLL data book by Franklin and I am familiar with the ROM based type PLL and the shift to generate the 455. In this case i can't see how it would be fruitful to put an arduino in between the channel selector and pll. We were thinking of a...

    Cobra 29LX Changed Again

    Hey now, this is cool. I've been working on writing code to use different pll's in the Cobra 29 with an arduino. I'm really interested in learning more about the pll in the new style 29. I'm not to good with RF electronics but programming Im very comfortable with. Does anyone know where I can...

    Cobra 29 LTD Frequency Mod (+Counter)

    I saw this on YouTube I think it was. And their was a second part where the 5mhz signal came from a board using like 5 5mhz arduino crystals and provides a slide thing to get the a channels. Kinda neato.
