Hey guys I'm running a cobra 29 st with a 4 ft firestik. Swr is 1.1 on ch1 and 1.3 on 40. I can squelch to nothing but every time I'm near or passing a rig I get a good bit of static. Help please.
Yes it does, looks like vehicle diagrams we use at work too. But the bulletin cobra puts out gives the part number needed which is 306-001, for the power supply. Just can't seem to find it anywhere.
I have heard that the night watch is prone to failure on these radios. I have also seen a bulletin from cobra as to replacing its power supply. A search of the power supply part number on google yields no valid results, what gives?
Thanks guys

actually the two meters were way different at first. Once I tuned with the radio shack meter, which got my swr to 1.3-1.5, then the internal meter matched it. Performance wise I can't complain with 5 miles loud and clear on hilly terrain stock radio. Yes it it a firestik running 18 ft of...
Thanks y'all! Really have been helpful. Got back from my last test and was running about 5 miles on hilly terrain clear sending and receiving. What mics do y'all recommend?
Thanks captain. Did my test with recommended meter from radio shack. Swr was in the 3's. Got it down to 1.5 on 1 and 1.3 on 40. Headed back to the highway for a test. What should I expect range wise with this setup?
Thanks. Just planning to use it in traffic during trips. I'll head on over to radio shack. Will that meter test the dead key also? And should the factory meter move when I talk?
I have searches for hours. I just installed a cobra 29 soundtracker with 4 ft firestik on a dodge ram. Dead key is around 9 watts, is this correct? Swr is about 1.1-1.2. All done with built in meter. What external meter brand is decent for a good price also?
Thanks in advance.
