Cobra148gtl final&bias

do you have it on miliamps DC area on the meter.. also check inside the unit most have a fuse that will blow if you go above what it is rated at. mine goes to 200ma and if I go higher it will blow the fuse. not sure what the 13 you have posted.
to make sure you are doing it right you unplug the wire at the test point then put neg to one contact and the other wire to the other end. then key the mic. one wire is for the driver bias and the other wire is for the final bias. the wire that runs towards the driver is the driver bias ans the wire that goes closer to the final is for the final bias.
my klein meter goes up to 700mA
 
blew the dust out of the old techtronics bench meter below is a picture of my reading for the final bias is that correct guys ?

Kaos, everything in your picture looks correct, but not knowing how the display works on that meter, i would set the range to the 200m setting and make sure that it still displays a "25" and doesn't show a "1" which would indicate an over range condition.

you have it set to the 2 amp range in the pictures.

If it were my meter, i would set both driver and final using the 200milliamp range.

No; your red wire should be attached to one of the two posts.
Didn't you watch my video?
