Yeah they used those switches on my Cobra 2000 also and I'm not fond of it either and still have to discover all the extra channels. But I do love the radio in general !My Cobra 2000GTL has 70 extra channels non-repeats. My radio has the Switch Mod using the ANL or NB and ANL/NB combinations. Not to my liking.
ANL only Chnls 15-27; 26.815 to 26.955, chnls 31 and 36; 26.995 and 27.045 respectively.
NB only Chnls 1-40; 27.605-28.045.
ANL/NB Chnls 15-27; 27.455-27.595, chnls 31 and 36; 27.635 and 27.685 respectively.
ANL and ANL/NB groups of 15 each are not entirely sequential
NB chnls 23-25 sequence jumble as well.
I've no idea of the correlation between your Switch Mod channels and mine or anyone else. The channel designation and the lack a sequence frequency variance is befunddling. It not as though there is a name sake for any of the groups; such as in the case where you might say, "go to channel 20 on PA group for more rag chewing on the matter". And I'd respond with, "Sorry, can't do. I don't have PA group, I got SHTF, LSMFT, and OMG".
You could have the dds vfo installed and get rid of the switches.My Cobra 2000GTL has 70 extra channels non-repeats. My radio has the Switch Mod using the ANL or NB and ANL/NB combinations. Not to my liking.

It is, but I don't think anyone has the same type of kit domestically right now.
I was very interested the DDS-VFO until the costs were added up. Granted the DDS-VFO has a couple bells/whistles more than just a Frequency Switch Mod; but, the accumulated cost of bag of DDS-VFO parts, assembly of said parts, restoration from Switch Mod, then installation of DDS-VFO mod. You smart cookies out there could get buy with simply the cost of the bag of unassembled parts. I'd likely be looking at closer to three times that; in addition to the cost of recapping the Cobra 2000. True value cannot be denied.
I am.
Your in the same boat as me and it is rickety at that ! LOL Some of us do a lot of wishful thinking ! LOL I've about shot my load on radios, now I have to start taking a look at which ones to keep and which ones to put on the block.I was very interested the DDS-VFO until the costs were added up.

There's the DigiMax. Not quite as large a change to the radio as the DDS-VFO.I was very interested the DDS-VFO until the costs were added up.

You can get the FM board off eBay about $29 after shipping. Look for CB FM mode TX/RX add-on PCB kit for 455kHz IF in AM & some multimode rigs
