Thank you for the help. I was just making sure that it was the same conversion as the old 99v. Thanks

Hello everyone. does anyone know how to do the frequency conversion on the new galaxy 99v2 ? Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

Hello everyone. I have cobra 25 LTD classic that i want to do the switch mod for upper and lower channels on. I cannot find any information on how to perform this mod. If anyone knows how to do this mod any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

the shield of the coax is just connected to the bottom of the coil right now . i was thinking about using a 2ft fiberglass antenna for a ground plane. will that help at all with the efficiency?

Hello everyone i just thought that this might be interesting to some of you out there. i go camping alot and usually bring a cb radio but the main problem i had was the antenna. it had to be small enough to fit into a back pack but had to work. so with the help of the internet and my own two...

Hello everyone I recently per chased a north point NT-4-HP that has been converted. Does a anyone know the tune up procedure for this radio? It is supposed to be a 50 watt radio but is only doing about 20 and swings backwards on high power. any help would be great. thanks

I clicked on the link for cobra's site but when I looked up Manuals for the 29 LX, all I could fine was the schematic and the PCB layout. I couldn't find the service manual. At this point I would like to set the radio totally stock and see if it cures the problem.

Ok everyone. I think I have narrowed it down to the adjustment slugs used to tune the radio in the tune up procedure. The adjustments are totally out of whack and I think it's causing to swing backwards. Does anyone know the factory settings for those adjustments?

I have tried a 30 amp power supply but it still swings backwards. I do not think its a matter of a tune up as I have already tried the general tune up procedure.

I have tried looking on cb tricks but I can't find any service manuals for a 29 LX.

I am not running an amplifier and on the meter it dead keys about 4 watts and swings back to about 2.5 watts. I am using a 15 amp power supply. I did find a diode that was burnt up (D8) and i replaced it but it did not effect anything. Im also not sure how to set the bias. Thanks

Hello everyone, i recently aquired a cobra 29 LX that had no output. Turns out the final transistor was cracked and a resistor was cooked. I replaced both components and the output came back. But when you modulate, it swings backwards and i cannot figure out why its doing this. Any help will be...

Hello everyone. I have a contex 6706 linear amp that i've used for side band for years. Well recently i smoked the rf choke in the front so i replaced it. Now when i go to talk on it i will see it hit maximum power but then the power will drop to nothing. Also at this point i can see that the...

i already have made a 1/4 wave dipole but its kind of big so i was trying to make something that would use a telescopic antenna and have no ground plane.

hello everyone i am going camping next weekend and want to take my handheld cb radio, but my problem is that i cant take a full size antenna with a big ground wire and hang it in a tree. So instead i thought of using a telescopic antenna with a loading coil to tune it but i dont know what kind...

my walkie talkie has a BNC connector for the rubber duck antenna to connect. my thought was that the rubber duck does not have a ground plane so inside the walky it must have a built in tuner to compensate for the ground while the rubber duck is used. so after i thought about it i realized that...

well thankyou everyone for your input but the only reason that i didnt want to make a dipole was because of its length. all i really wanted was an antenna about half that size, thus i made one with no "ground" wire because the walkie talkie does not require one because it already has a built in...

also if you could explain what a moxum antenna. i have never heard of this type of antenna. Thanks

well i thought about a dipole, but that requires a center feed and it also requires i ground plane making it twice as long as the no-ground bazooka antenna that i previously made

Hello everyone i was just thinking about something and wanted to know what you guys thought. I am going camping in a few days and want to bring my handheld radioshack cb radio but i needed a bigger antenna. So i thought of this: I could make a "bazooka" antenna but didnt want to have to have a...
