Best mod is to put it under the front wheel of the truck and move forward
This "radio" is a crap.

My mod is to just stay away from Cobra DX-anythings. Way too many well documented problems and complaints with the things and far too many other exports out there that work great.

Good luck

Sell it on Ebay, some people would buy anything there.

it's a throw-away radio, if you own it long enough you'll find out why, maybe.

And there you have it straight from a radio tech and shop. Find yourself another radio some of the newer Unidens are pretty nice I am not an AM user but will agree there are a few good radios out there for that and a few of the Unidens are great.

You can always sell it to an enemy of yours and then go buy an older Cobra or a Galaxy, Magnum, Stryker, Connex, etc.
