    Please explain how the Ch 9 / Ch 19 switch operates?

    I replaced the Ch9/Ch19 switch with the on/off switch for a RM Italy AD 203 PCB Stinger Board. I also replaced the Delta Tune knob with the dual control knob for a TRB-X3 echo board. And, I ordered a new faceplate which has the replaced controls lettered accordingly.

    Please explain how the Ch 9 / Ch 19 switch operates?

    With this radio being from 2021, the dpdt switch, in the Ch9 switch location, only uses 2 wires. A yellow wire - top pin of switch to the Channel Selector pcb. And a black wire - center pin of switch to pcb ground. Also, with the 2021's model of the Cobra 29 Ltd Classic. -Soldering the yellow...

    Please explain how the Ch 9 / Ch 19 switch operates?

    The Yellow and Black wires connected together changes the radio to Ch 9. So I left the Yellow and Black wires connected to the pcb and taped and shrink tubed the ends which I removed from the switch separately.

    Please explain how the Ch 9 / Ch 19 switch operates?

    This is a 6 pin dpdt switch. Black on middle pin routed to PCB ground. Yellow on top pin routed to Channel Selector PCB. I did find a previous post, "Cobra 29 Switches" , addresses the elimination/repurposing of the Ch9 Switch.

    Please explain how the Ch 9 / Ch 19 switch operates?

    Hi, I found a Cobra 29 Ltd Classic at a local garage sale. The Ch9/Ch19 Switch of the Cobra 29 Ltd is broken and will not stay in the up position. Can I just solder the 2 - black and yellow wires together? Thanks,

    After final/companion upgrade ( using a Dosy TC3001-P) the radio is only putting out 10-12 watts. Even with VR4 turned all the way.

    2019 Cobra 29 Ltd Classic

    Ok. I just couldn't stop thinking about the radio's speaker not working, and I found the problem. The internal portion of the external speaker jack has been bent down far enough as to not allow it to spring back into place with the external speaker plug removed. I pushed up on the internal...

    Countdown Until ........ Poof

    Hi, I drive End Dump/Tractor Trailer Monday - Friday. Lately the bleed over from channel 11 is totally annihilating the use of channel 10 (which most of our facilities use for communication with drivers ). And any attempt to listen for road conditions, accidents, road closures on channel 19 has...

    2019 Cobra 29 Ltd Classic

    Good Morning nomadradio, With that said. I went ahead and returned this radio back to stock. I'm assuming that the "Receive Upgrade" (Schottky Diode / Transistor) does not work with radios built in 2019...? Thank you, Jimbo

    2019 Cobra 29 Ltd Classic

    I see, from the schematic, what you are saying. I also see any of D8, D6, D11, R51 could be the reason the radio's speaker is not working?

    2019 Cobra 29 Ltd Classic

    Hi, Obviously without intention, while performing the receive upgrade to a 2019 Cobra 29 Ltd Classic, I touched the two speaker wires (red & white) together . Oh Boy! Now the meter (no light, nor needle movement) and the onboard speaker are not working. The radio works just fine (except for the...

    Fried My Cobra 29 LTD w/RFX75

    Hi Guys, I keyed up the mic without my antenna switched to the radio I intended to talk on. And "Yes" I did see a small amount of smoke rise up from the back of the radio. I did find and replace one burnt resistor. This radio is a Cobra 29 LTD Black Chrome which came with a RFX 75...

    Oops! I spoke too soon.

    Never mind, I found the problem. Cap at JP36 ( installed as part of RFX-75 installation) had also failed. Thank You to everyone who has taken the time to be so helpful over the years. And Thank You WorldWideDX for providing a place to compile all of the past conversations regarding radio...

    Oops! I spoke too soon.

    Hi, Recently I decided to install a Jetstream (part# JTCS3M) 3 position antenna switch which would allow me to take advantage of SSB on my Galaxy dx 949, the rfx 75 on my Cobra 29 ltd chrome, along with some of the noise toys on some much older radios I have purchased over the years. I spoke...

    Base Antenna resistance (Ohms)

    Thank you 2NC995. The problem was due to oxidation where the radials connect to the antenna mount. SWRs are now minimal.
