    Noise toy wire up

    I've got a noise toy that I pulled out of a radio some years ago and have forgotten how to wire it back up. It's a 4 wire hookup. Blue, white, grey and brown. It looks like blue-white are the audio in and out. Grey looks like power in and grey to ptt on the mike or a switch but it doesn't work...

    erf7530 mosfets

    Good deal, I just scanned the post and saw no one could find them. Glad you did. Fortunately I bought a bunch of them when I bought some of the rfx-150's. Haven't hadn't to use them, but may use them to get some of the 75 kits back running.

    New bench up and running....

    Oh he'll be able to keep his brain going on the next radio I send him lol. He did a great job on my 95T2. and was really good about answering any and all calls or texts I sent about it. I don't mind bragging on folks from this site, and @OldTech03 is now one of them.

    Galaxy 1000 amp arching

    Driver tube is shot. I would bet that the dust mighta caused the arcing. Or a taller tube jumping to the hood

    I should not post this as there will be a stampede to get one!

    I saw a similar posting, maybe the same guy. $700 cobra. He advertised "bigger finals". How's long has cobra been able to put more than one final in a 29? I've got a set of those lights as well, had no clue I was sitting on a goldmine!

    hacked up cobra 2000

    It had a "swing kit" in it, but the output was dismal. I replaced the stock parts and did the NPC for the 2k. Only reason I'm getting about 17 pep is I volted the final. I took the 1969 that was in it out, and put a used 2078 in place. But the differences in the audio reports was worth the...

    hacked up cobra 2000

    Well I got fed up with trying to figure out the wiring on the 5 pin from what was in here, sooo I took It out and put a 4 pin in it. Works like a charm. Also did an "npc" to the radio that I found online. Figured I would try it, not much to lose on those unit lol. It did surprisingly well! From...

    hacked up cobra 2000

    Well I've got audio, recieve am fine key up now. The output is pretty dismal. About 9 pep at 80% modulation. Ive replaced the am regulator and pre driver, adjusted bias and peaked the tx chain. Am waiting on a new driver and final. Odd thing is I still have talk back. With an external speaker...

    hacked up cobra 2000

    I'm glad yours does! This one, on the other hand, doesn't. I never was a fan of the 2000 but I figured I would try one. I'll stick with my 1000's. Looks a lot like one, but half the headaches. But it's another diagnostic teaching tool for me. Gotta learn the hard way I guess. Will get back on I...

    hacked up cobra 2000

    oh yeah thats for sure. but, with the majority of any radio ive owned, ive always kept stock appearances. old and new rigs. a lot of folks dig that "customized" look i guess, and dont mind making it their own so to speak. its just a headache for silver screwdrivers, not gold status yet, like...

    hacked up cobra 2000

    yeah i love a stock look. i hate anything that sticks out. i may have to go the decal route though. ive seen on that one social media vacuum, some customized bezels on another 1000. the guy had re-purposed some switches and knobs and it looked totally stock. i tried asking the dude where he got...

    hacked up cobra 2000

    ok, i recently got a cobra 2000 that can be compared to one of those "buy here pay here" car lots. its obviously been through a dozen hands, been modified by each and has been rode hard and put up wet. ive been able to undo all the "mods" except for one. talkback. ugh.. this variation has...
