ok taking this new info into account. the amp can still max out to 250W... so if the radio has the swing it can get to 20W in... I dont understand with this cobra 25 the dosy "sees" 200W.. with the swing kit.. So if I throw 4 watts in I get 150 out... So where does the swing play a role...

Ahh just like the car audio world.. People with their scopes turn the gains down so low that you'll never achieve the max for an amp.. Sometimes you'll achieve some audiable distortion when running power (IE: Increased watts) there is going to also be an increase in distortion... But still the...

thanks carl, so thats why those are in tuneups to see more watts LOL.. Now we are getting somewhere... As my example a cobra 25 with 10w peek.. Isnt this where it should be? Without an amp..Thats 10 watts so.. 10 x 1/4 = 2 1/2 watts DK With my TX 250HDV Amp..Thats 250 so...

see on my other thread I've gotten the impression 1/4 of pep is deakey. I kinda was looking at it all like a gain on an audio amp.. the higher the Deadkey, the stronger your carrier is (IE: you wont get cut off it your keyed and stop talking) but not sound as clear.. I also was under the...

Is any of this true? And If so why do we put swing kits in our radio's in the first place? I have been searching on what the right deadkey with and without and amp and this just tops the icing on the cake

Someone PLZ REad Me..Deadkey formula!!! Well I connected that cobra 25 to the meter, and was yacking ALL night.. the way it was modded... shows about 50w deadkey swinging to 250w with amp... So here is my question.. I know now with the amp that 142 needs a lower deadkey because its @ 100W...

What kind of cb are you looking for? where are you from? Email me simbalage21a@gmail.com

I had the chance to get one of these, Went with an older Uniden 510 as far as space saving goes.. which also is barebones like this.. I seen the guy hook it up and it just wasnt my cup of tee.. And I am a bigggg cobra fan. On another thread they called the 510 a splatter box, so I have removed...

Then why does carl say.... Wouldnt you just match the mods the same for the same pll? Also would a 10M export work with the channels the 142 has?

yep, this is what I dug up too.. Doesnt have a wide freq range. I priced the freq counters, and it will be a item I get later.. Going to just get a moddable radio thats easier and matches up. I will say the lesson learned here was fun, and i've seen hands on what a radio does when its trying to...

Well after comming back to this, I picked up a cheap patch cable to connect after the power from amp.. if its wide open and the dosy is set to 300 I see a deadkey around 100 and swings to 200.. If I turn it to variable and 30... It is where I usually use it, its around 5w swinging to 100.. But...

Now this is my question.. As for dk vs swing, I am confident that 1/4 of power should be DK, and the rest swing, However this trap thing.. how come the cobra 25 mods are to spread the coils, as well as tune pots? I have been told on this form never touch coils so whats right? This new radio has...

I found that thread... And this one makes WAYYYYY more sense....

What makes the MOST sense... Forget a scope which in no way can show real performace. I started a thread similar, and 1/4 of avaliable power should be deadkey, and the rest swing. I have tried this method in real life situations and its true.. If the deadkey is say 1 watt and your swinging to...

Hey, I am seeing a lot more face :).. Garage sales are nice.. I picked up a cobra 25 and it was 7 bucks.. I'd like to get one of them export 10/11m radios as they look sweet

Loving old stuff.. Yea, I didnt notice this thread.. I started one about my cobra 26.. you are right the sound quality on these old radios is amazing.. I had a midland 888 and she died, so I got a cobra 26.. Problem is... You guessed it.. Only 23 channels. Anyone with info on where to buy these...

WOW! I'd like to get one just to listen.... never seen such a device. Yea that connector will work, but you will have to make sure the polarity is correct.. Same connector on my royce and I found an opposing end, but its was reverse.. Red - and black +.. easy way is use a condinuity tester on...

I am not looking to spend alot on this book, as I am just going to get a radio thats easier to mod (Cowards way I guess) but how much do you want for it? Would you be willing to scan it and share?

Do you want to sell that Expo 100 crystal kit? Never heard of a franklen 148 :)

I know you can upgrade the final, but yea I just figured I would ask because I didnt see that listed, but picked up the 25 for 7 bucks with minor repairs needed to it :) Thanks for the info. I noticed they put a cap/resistor so its DK at 1w, will it still getout barefoot? or woud putting a...
