nope they're the same. they both use the TLR321 channel LED display.

well this place has a blue and an orange one. you might try contacting them and seeing about a red one. https://www.wearecb.com/cobra-753036-blue-led-cover-29ltd-chrome.html https://www.wearecb.com/orange-display-cover-for-c29wxnwst.html LC

When i encounter issues like this i get the scope out and start probing from the TX mixer output to the antenna jack. Sometimes one of the mixer inputs is missing, but most of the time its one of three things, a bad transistor, a bad tuning coil, or tuning issues. in cobra 29LTDs especially...

what are your voltages on TR16 in TX mode? do you have RF on the output of L17? (the L17 side of R55 would be a good place to check).

make a map of the TX voltages that go through that mode switch in each mode. note the source, the specific switch contacts and the components the voltages are sent to from the switch. now put the radio through its paces until the TX falls out, and use your map to see which voltage isn't making...

yes the feedline and its associated components are very likely the cause of this problem. the fact that the antenna is not being used for its intended purpose is also a problem. if her coax is over 10 years old, and im guessing in this situation that its more like 30+ years old then it's been...

got a model number for that realistic mic?

just wanted to add in that he's talking about adding the cap in series with the audio line, not paralleled from the audio line to ground. LC

the low pass filter will likely make no difference in your situation. Most likely she is not experiencing harmonics of your station interfering with her TV frequencies, it's simply RF overload. there is nothing you can do on your end, short of switching your hobby to shortwave listening lol...

Are you trying to align the VCO frequencies? the 34mhz ones? if so try using TP1, which is the junction of L20, R106, and R107. LC

that mod sounds like a talkback mod. if the radio works right now, you should be able to speak into the mic and hear yourself through the speaker with the switch in one position, and not in the other. the only other thing it could really be is a switchable swing mod. Basically switching that...

how did you check the SWR on SSB? LC

im with Brandon on this one. i was going to suggest the same thing he did. try to set the bias. driver bias of 0v regardless of the trimmer setting points right to that bias diode.. pull the leads out of the PC board and test it using the diode function of your DMM. should read a small voltage...

a good place to start is to clean all the contacts on the pots and switches. then using the service manual start checking the voltages of the IC chips, and after that the associated transistors. If you find a voltage that doesn't jive with the manual, that's the place to start looking for a...

what radio are you using? LC

so you went with the digimax kit eh? as i said its a good kit and does work when installed correctly. be careful of static when working on things like this. for example, working on a carpeted floor is a bad idea. do you have the test equipment and experience required to re-align the radio once...

kc0mlt, Can you be specific about what is different? I do realize that wires may not be the same color, and there may even be different part numbers involved. Between SAMS 207 and a schematic of a 25LTD classic i think we should be able to help with your issue. All 25LTDs are the same on the...

just to add to Nomad's post, you can still get digital copies of the original SAMS photofact manuals. here's a link to the one for the 25GTL which is the same on the inside as the 25LTD. https://www.samswebsite.com/en/photofact/details/index/id/38637 LC

looks just like the original element just copper instead of silver. ive never seen a copper one before. im curious to know what the part number on the back is. LC

I believe they are available from at least one or two distributors right now. shops that sell radios should be able to get them. LC
