    Yeticom Optima Mk3 Frequency Adjustment?

    I tried multiple times contacting them about alignment information for this radio. Never could get any information from them. I still have my radio and like it but their attitude when I asked about alignment information really aggravated me.

    Cobra 29ltd no power?

    I just picked up a Cobra 29 ltd chrome that's not working. Radio is as dead as a door nail. Doesn't power on or anything. Looked for cold solder joints and anything burnt up but it all looks good. Any ideas of what else to check?

    Connex CX3300 HP Modulation problems

    Just picked up two connex cx3300s. One is newer and the other one is an older readio. The newer one has no modulation on AM but works fine on FM. The older one works fine on both AM and FM but has low modulation. R228 has been cut in both radios so I would assume they should both have plenty of...

    Northstar NS-9000 dead

    Ive got a Northstar NS-9000 I'm working on now. Radio is pretty much dead. Other than a little bit of noise from the speaker is does nothing. None of the lights light up or anything on it. Would a bad voltage regulator cause that or am I looking in the wrong spot?

    General Lee loss of RX/TX

    Does it after the radios has been on. Ive had radios do this where the pll side of the board had a bad connection but this one the transmit led is not turning red during transmit when the problem occurs. I seem to recall that being related to something else but I cant remember what now.

    Cobra 29 receive problem

    I have a cobra 29 ltd classic I'm working on here. The radio appears to have been hooked up backwards at some point. I had to replace the reverse polarity diode and re solder a burnt trace on the board. The radio powers up now but the receive isn't acting right. When receiving any station the...

    Galaxy 66 frequency problem

    Changed the PLL chip. Turned on the radio and it seemed fine. Had other things to do so I shut it off and disconnected it. Come back to finish it up and tried it again and its still all over frequency. Checked the frequency at the one pin on the pll chip and its showing 10.24? There has got to...

    Galaxy 66 frequency problem

    I have a galaxy 66 I'm having trouble with. When you turn the radio on the frequency counter shows 25mhz or so and it starts jumping through the frequencies. I replaced the 10.240mhz crystal and it worked for a short time. I started going through the alignment procedure and half way through it...

    Cobra 25 low output power

    What can be done to increase the power on a cobra 25 other than changing the final? Seems like most of the radios I see are set at about 2 watt dead key and they won't do much more than that. Ive got one sitting on my bench right now thats set at 2 watts dead key and will barely hit 5 watts...

    Cobra 25 ltd classic 1969 mod

    Whats all involved in switching the final (2078) in a Cobra 25 ltd classic to a 1969? Is it as simple as just removing the 2078 and putting the 1969 in its place or are there other components that need to be changed?

    Increase modulation on Cobra 25

    I'm only getting about 80% modulation with a whistle. The radio is stock otherwise. I figured maybe something could be changed out to increase the modulation. I know 25s are capable of more than what this one is doing.
