    Cobra 2000 GTL power issue

    I've a Cobra 2000 that I have a question on the DC power. When hooked up to AC, the power switch turns the radio on and off as it should. However, when the DC power cord is connected, the power comes on and stays on...no matter the switch position. I think I read somewhere that the 2000 does the...

    FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

    I believe I heard Greg in there with a couple of QSO's, down on 16 LSB. By the time the air cleared, skip went too.

    If you were a pirate broadcaster, what's playing right now?

    Best album ever, among several others of that time that all share #1 status in my mind. Hard to pick a winner amongst the greatest era in music.

    Texas Ranger 696 (Galaxy 959 board) carrier on SSB no carrier on AM

    I think I had a similar problem with my ranger freedom sometime back. Seems to come to mind that although the 959 and the 696 radio chassis is the same, some of the alignment values were different between the 2 radios. I wish my memory served me a little better to point to a specific, but I did...

    Siltronix 1011D no filament voltage

    That's true, I guess it depends on how you value your equipment. $150 isn't exactly cheap, but you're getting a new transformer basically. The choice I had was to buy a used or abused unit as you state, but then there's the risk of getting what you have... For my situation a used Fisher Amp was...

    Siltronix 1011D no filament voltage

    I'm no expert, but https://www.transcendar.com/ rewinds transformers if it comes to that. I had an audio amp, Fisher, that had a bad transformer, I had the restorer send it to transcender for a rewind and it was rather inexpensive considering they no longer make parts for them. There are several...

    National Media and Teenagers.

    There is not much journalism anymore. Most big name news broadcasts are given by speaking heads, not journalists, for the networks paid for opinions. I find I learn a lot more by the alternate streaming networks, but I still have to weigh the content. I like OAN, they seem to have a good mix...

    If you were a pirate broadcaster, what's playing right now?

    This album sees more time on the turntable than any other of my albums. First heard Trower on a portable cassette player in Basic Training at Ft Ord in 1975.
