I got her hooked up and it does 110 on the meter. I opened it up, it has 2x MRF454's

I just picked up a Kicker brand 125 amp in a garage sale. I'm wondering what class it is and what it's out put should be. I tried to find info on it but with the name Kicker, all I kept getting was car stereo stuff of the general use of the name kicker (amp slang).. Looks like a good...

Good point!

My GL has just developed an issue. It has a good carrier (signal) but zero mod (no voice). What should I check?

Thanks guys, I figured it out.. It was a bad LED in the meter.. :thumbup:

I just picked up a General Lee (cheap). It has a clicking sound. It happens on both car and power supply power. When it does stop (briefly), the TX/RX is good. I've gently wiggled all the external and internal wires, with no change... What could it be?

Wholesale only.. Bummer

Soldering iron, De-soldering iron or tool, .032 60/40 solder, forceps (real handy), side cutters (nipper's) and some brass ones... :)

I'm looking to replace the bezel of my Cobra 25 LTD WX. It's a side mic radio.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all. What I gather is the if you reduce R117, both BRT and DIM would be reduced equally. If R115 is reduced, only the DIM is reduced. I did the R115. It works great for the dim setting!!

Well, I used a 1/2 watt 3.3 ohm resistor. It worked pretty good. I swapped it for a 4.7 ohm, it worked even better! Now I need to test drive it in the car for a while.. It may need a bit more.. Thank you for your input guys!

1/4 or 1/2 watt?

Thanks, I'll try that. What I used is a blue ziploc container lid. I cut it down and hot glued it to the inside of the bezel. Looks and works great. The blue displays are just soo darn bright..

I just want to dim down my channel display, not the rest.

I have a Cobra 29 NHST. I upgraded to UV LED's and a blue display. The display is way too bright on the dim setting. How do I dim it down into the realm of reason?? Is there a resistor I can change?
