I finally got around to working on a Cobra 139XLR (base station) "EBay Special" that was supposed to "work fine," but didn't...
I've just about got everything straightened out (new channel LED, final and driver, LED meter bulbs, etc.) except one thing… Sometime in my radios distant past, someone did a mod on the 858. They wired this to the ANL/NB switch, and taped the wires from that switch together.
Well, actually, they taped the little red and white wires in the shielded cable together. They left the big red and brown wires disconnected.
I was wondering if any of y'all have one of these. If so, would you PLEASE pop the bottom cover and let me know how the switch is wired up? I would really appreciate it as I've put lots of hours into this radio and would like to get the old classic properly working again.. I promise to return the favor if I can ever help!
Thanks and 73!
