    I think Leapfrog over complicates things. All Galaxy style radios direct inject in the exact location including Connex, Super Star, RCI.....ect The only difference is how they number the capacitor. Easiest way to direct inject is to isolate the PA jack (rf bypass caps and all) or drill a hole...

    How much audio power one typically see in CB and Export Radios

    This not %100 true with CB. CB radios offer no harmonic filtering like a ham rigs for AM modulation. Regardless if you direct inject or not the radio is still capable of producing the same harmonic interference.

    How much audio power one typically see in CB and Export Radios

    I said as long as your not interfering who cares! That was a more aimed to the ham bands. The CBer was obviously interfering. So answer my question even on the CB band how is it that my signal that I recorded is considered interfering or bleeding over? I think your confusing operators, you...

    If everyone was 10khz wide with perfect filtering....... No your good.

    How much audio power one typically see in CB and Export Radios

    You are correct, I was trying to say anything less than 300hz-2.7khz is hard to listen too without fatigue (IMHO).

    How much audio power one typically see in CB and Export Radios

    I agree with you, yes there are people who should never touch a radio but there are other that are just interested in learning. I dont know what im doing and I will be the first to admit that, I also dont have any problem admitting when im wrong either. Im engaging in conversation with you for...

    How much audio power one typically see in CB and Export Radios

    I disagree, direct injections is for people who want to take their skills to the next level. Direct inject isn't just for idiots but people interested in improving their knowledge of AM radio, CB and Ham included. How dare you suggest its the latest craze for idiots, people for the most part are...

    How much audio power one typically see in CB and Export Radios

    I want to say on a cobra 148 direct inject 4 watt carrier to modulate to %100 your looking at a no more than 150 milliwatts (dont quote me on that thats just an educated guess) I doubt any line level rack gear will be over 1 watt. Either way other than the distortion the factory audio amp will...

    How much audio power one typically see in CB and Export Radios

    The standard TA7222 audio amp is around 6 watts I doubt you will ever max that out. Most of the time your modulating around the milliwatt scale. NPC actually would help you "IF" you were running out of audio drive power. If you understand how a NPC mod works that will make sense. Your RF driver...

    Easiest way to achieve hi fi?

    For me it has almost nothing to do with efficiency. If I cant hold a conversation with you other than making the first initial contact I dont want to talk to you. Example, contesting or poor conditions. Those said contraptions are defently not needed. I run a Kenwood TS-850 %150 mod nothing more...

    Cobra 2000, 148 AM Bias and operating classes/class in various modes

    Are you going to low level modulate with AM? Its doable but you would need a AM filter for 7.8mhz, there will need to be some other mods also.....

    What size is the new board? Thanks 711! However I ordered one anyways.

    Cobra 2000, 148 AM Bias and operating classes/class in various modes

    Dont volt or do the NPC mod on a 148. The NPC mods work great on Galaxy style radios you get a nice power gain and the audio quality stays the same. With the NPC on a 148 you dont get that many more watts and a crappy muffled sound with less audio loudness. Volting the final isnt needed...

    Cobra 2000, 148 AM Bias and operating classes/class in various modes

    Ya I really dont know enough either. The heat could be a tuning miss match on the output pie network. I have observed huge miss matches from the factory. Even with two exact Cobra radios ones good and the other, not so much..... Some wake up after changing a 20 picofarad cap to a 5 or 40...

    The new MMM boards are cheaper and a better design than the Asymod. The newer MMM board is: Cheaper Smaller (1.5" x 1.5") Going off memory dont quote me. Single Voltage (not converted like the asymod) Less components (you do have to mount and wire the pots)
