Yeah they still got delta tunes. They revamped the whole receive section. I couldn't figure it out but then again I don't know much

How do you do the vfo windup on a new am/fm cobra 29. They done dont have d12 no more for the lame FM mode

10-4, I hear ya. 73s

Oh so a fat boy and a carl built dont splatter?? Don't they use 2sc2879s? What are you talking about.... tube amps? Might want to go rant on a ham forum or kick rocks.

I never knew a galaxy 959 with a predator 10k antenna and a Texas star amp were cheap cb equipment.

Thanks Bob, I will check it out thanks!

So I have a new couple month old cobra 25 ltd. I blew it up testing amps meaning the radio would pop a fuse everytime the radio was turned on. So I replaced the final, driver and pre driver transitor. The radio now turns on and the tx light changes red when mic is keyed but shows no...
