Nice! I did get lucky finding it. I also lucked out and snagged a Palomar Skipper yesterday around noon. :) So both amps hopefully will show up sometime next week or the following. I think both boards may be different inside (The Magnum 2000 being older.), but overall the same idea. So for...

Thank you all for providing great information. My mind recalled when you mentioned about turning down the mic gain and if the SSB audio gets worse, then the idle voltage isnt right. Maybe some day once I crack the amp back open I will just have to find a spot to get the relay to click over and...

Ohhh...... For whatever reason that amp sounded the same on air as the RM Italy 203P.... I was under the impression that Cobra 150 is not a true Class AB amp... Maybe I am wrong... :/

This is the one.

Ugh.... Which would of been the better buy, the Black Widow DX 250 or the Magnum 2000?

Just ran into the pictures of when I had my Cobra 150 amp opened up sometime either last year or the year before... But Though the board read A1, Is the circuitry there for it to be a true Class AB1?

I am taking a wild stab at this... Isnt the 200 P a "pill" transistor vs the 203 P running on 4 MOSFETs? Least thats what it looks by the boards.

I seen a Black Widow 250 DX version, but wasnt that more a Class C versus a Class AB1?

I may be in luck!!!! Found one on eBay and the seller accepted the offer. Magnum 2000 that looks exactly like the Cobra 350 XL / Palomar Skipper. Hoping it be the one..

At this rate I will just have to keep it opened up and be more on the lookout.

ugh.. Happened again... Palomar Skipper that was sold for $150... The "notifications" on eBay are just too damn slow.

I got some good stuff over the years off of Craigslist and Facebook. I have been off facebook since 2022 (They wanted me to submit ID and such... Though I have had my account since 2006.) So had enough.... I do try to look around there time to time, but someone on craigslist has the cb...

Hello, The deal with the Messenger 250 never worked out, so back at looking for an amplifier. I was eyeballing the Texas Star amps, but most go for a pretty penny. I got confused on various models that had the SSB button up front vs the Delay button, but then something about the ones with the...

Im all for it. Should be here at the homestead that weekend. (January 3rd & 4th)

23 West Coast of Canada sounding good on this old radio. Good talking to you again.
