Cobra 25LTD Classic 10 meter mod?
- Thread starter T23
- Start date
Well I found someone that is going to trade me an old 23 channel crystal based radio, and if I remember correctly if you swith the TX and RX crystals and re-align it you should be on 10 meters, or maby I have just been reading too many Internet articles. 
I also found a cool mod to put a 49Mhz Baby monitor on 6 Meters, and as chance has it , I found a weird monitor that is a transceiver and not just a transmitter like they always are, but this is just for the 49Mhz crystal based units.

No Robb I don't have a license... I have been wanting to get a license but I have searched the Internet over and can't find much info, like how much is the license fee if there is one, or where and how do i take this test, and what does it consist of, but on a side note , I have also been putting it off because I thought I would get a license after I acquired the equipment , There wouldn't be much point in getting a license and having no equipment requiring that license.
Could somebody point me in the right direction?
Heres some links to the mods I was referring to in my last post, I think y'all will find them interesting...

That wasnt very nice and totally uncalled for talkin to him that way when he just wants information and instructions and you com.ent his jc penny radio.
Ill make sure his cobra 25 goes 10 meter and hopefully your on 10 meter so you can hear his cobra 25 blasting audio worldwide on 10 meter.
Be polite dude nobody cares about 10 meter anymore including the fcc.
Your cobra 25 would require a channel kit for 10 meter use like the expo 100 S- channel kit for the cobra 25 ltd.Well I found someone that is going to trade me an old 23 channel crystal based radio, and if I remember correctly if you swith the TX and RX crystals and re-align it you should be on 10 meters, or maby I have just been reading too many Internet articles.

DDS-VFO in a cobra 25 youll have all the bands the radio can handle
I realize that having 10 meter on a radio thats AM only wouldnt be much fun at all but its still cool and still appreciated like all other illegal radio mods from back in the day haveing 10 meter channel kit in a cobra was so kool it would change a mans social status.
The best way would be to purchase a channel kit from ebay called the expo 100 channel kit and for cobra 25 it would require the S- type channel kit.
Or if you have a little more funds to spend u can go to lesters customs website and look at his channel kits they have more than 120 channels.
And theres the DDS-VFO.
Dont pay attention to these super serious ham guys theyre a bunch of squares anyway.
This thread deserves a nomination for The Most Ridiculously Amusing Thread on the Forum Award. Or maybe for the How to Flush Good Money Down the Crapper Award. Just imagine the change in your social status with a win of one of those..............
I agree with Crawdad...........
Nothing like starting crap with a 13-year-old post.

Robb was simply pointing out obvious facts about trying to put a very limited radio on ten AM.
Even if you waste the money on a channel kit or the DDS vfo mod will not get the radio to cover from the 10 meter AM Sub band all the way down to the regular 40 channels.
As LC has pointed out It would be much more useful to start off with a multi mode radio for this.
Even the OP agreed that it would be limited.
I encourage anyone interested to go for the ham ticket and get on ten, you can work voice on ten with a tech license, and it's not that difficult to pass.
You are dead wrong that no one cares about Ten meters, we use it a lot out here, weekly SSB nets, FM Repeaters, FT-8, CW, data and guys that like to play on AM are there as well.
Maybe you should take your own advise and

Be polite dude

Many of us "squares" have been around here and keeping this radio forum going for years, without discrimination against one type of radio, be it Ham, CB, GMRS, Freeband, FRS, and about anything else you can think of.
Let's move along now......
