I'm betting on the galaxy style chassis they're cranking up the meter modulation pot to impress, you know the regular smoke and mirrors for the meter happy folks. Jmo
Just a little update. Did the swing kit Mod on the cobra 29 Ltd classic. Got my dead key down to 2 watts swinging 5 on avg. swings to 16 pep. S-meter shows swing also. Sounds OK on dummy radio but not to nice on the scope. But it was to be expected. Thanks again everyone for your help and sharing your knowledge. Next is the NPC-RC on my uniden grant.
LOL.... I know right. The radio is in rough shape. That’s the only reason why I’m using them to learn. Would never try these mods on good radios.Please don't. Sell me the Grant so I can give it a good home.
