Need Help With Cobra 29 Mod


Here is the original post https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/sweet-easy-variable-dead-key-for-cobra-29s.223406/ the jumper I am talking about is jp32 I have a old cobra 29 that doesnt work jp32 is the jumper he is talking about removing but it isn't in the radio I'm trying to do the mod to
Ah
Yes now I get it.
I have no idea what the new AM FM Cobra radios are using for the board.
Give it a minute and see if anyone here has played with the new model.
Posting pictures of the board in your radio may help.
And welcome to the group.

Quick question the mod in question is just changing the voltage going to the driver to in turn change the dead key I'm still learning so if you laugh I understand I just love radios and would like to learn more you know not just doing a mod and not understanding what it's doing if you understand me but if that's what it does could we get the said voltage elsewhere?
