Glad you got your radio fixed. The Cobra 148 is a nice radio.
BUT, I am having trouble finding anywhere in Jazzsinger's post where he
tells you that you are full of SH*T. It appears "to me" that he was simply
stating the proper way to align a SSB radio.
Nothing wrong with that, that I can see. I would much rather be pointed
in the right direction than to be left in the dark and later having problems
because I did not learn the proper procedure for a particular repair etc.
I have done lots of repairs that worked, but, may or may not have been done
the right way. And several times, when trying to use the same method for repair,
it failed the second time. Leaving me to wonder why the same thing didn't work
twice. Once I found out that I was just lucky the first time, and learned the proper
way, and the results were repeatable, then I was glad someone helped me by pointing
out errors I made. Might have hurt my pride a bit, but, in the long run, it was worth it.
Enjoy your radio, it is one of my favorites.
