I know that you're 100% right ... but I'm definitely not in any hurry to recap anymore radios right away ... lol. I just finished doing a complete recap on a Cobra 2000, and that was close to 50 capacitors ... and ironically enough, I bought that capacitor kit from Klondike Mike as well ... lol...

If I remember correctly , this version is somewhere between 1994 to 1996. I wish I could remember a little better , but it wasn't important to me at the time ... lol. The radio originally belonged to my Mom , and she recently passed away . And since I'm the only one in the family that gained her...

So I have a quick question about the Ranger RCI 2990 base station . Does this radio have a factory reset function ?? I was just wondering because it's a CPU based radio , and a few of my other CPU based radios from the same time period do have a factory reset feature in them , but I can't find...

I've seen a few "junk radios" here and there. But can you guess what always seems to be missing from them when I do find them ? You guessed it, their frequency counter boards ... lol. I've seen the boards for sale before in the past. I just never needed one at the time. I'll just have to keep...

Does anyone know where you can find a replacement frequency counter board for a Cobra 2000 ? Thanks

So here's a quick update on this topic . I got an electrolytic capacitor kit for the Cobra 2000 GTL, and I have been going through replacing each capacitor . I'm now down to just 10 left to replace , so I'll let you know how everything goes with my Cobra 2000 once I'm done with it .

Hi everyone , I recently got a good working Kenwood SM-220 Station Monitor , but it doesn't have any of it's probes anything like that with it . I was just wondering if anyone here knew what style of cables it uses ... and where you can buy them at so I can start using it ? Thanks

Thanks for the info , I do have an old junk galaxy mobile hanging around the house .

I was wondering if it was able to be rebuilt or not ... it was turned all the way down, and now it won't come back up .

I'm working on an old Icom IC-290 2 meter all mode , and the adjustable USB inductor is bad, it's L8 in the service manual . The manual says that the part number is LS-149A, and the inductor says 23749A on it. I've been searching the internet for a few weeks now, and I haven't able to find any...

Ok, I have to run this by you guys. Maybe one of you has seen something like this before. I recently came across a D & A Raider amp. Since I wasn't familiar with it, I started researching it hoping that to learn more about it. I discovered that this amp was created to be an 11 meter only amp...

Hi everyone, I have a Cobra 139 base station. The 23 channel version, not the 40 channel XLR version. I plugged it in and everything lights up and looks good . But it has no receive, does anyone here have any idea what might be causing this, because I'd really like to make this radio operational...

I recently bought a Ten-Tec Triton I (510) at a local hamfest a couple of months ago . It didn't have the right power supply with it when I bought it , instead it had the Ten Tec Model 262m with it . Which I was told wouldn't work right without the proper adjustments, and so on, and so on . So...

No, it's never been recapped before. Everything is still original in it. But I did get a recap kit for it from Klondike Mike. So that will be getting done.

Actually, no . I disconnected it, and stored it away for a year or two. It was fine when I disconnected it and put it away. Then when I pulled it back out and hooked it up again a few years later, it's doing this craziness instead of acting the right way now.

No, it's still a 5 pin mic jack. It used to be my grandmothers , and I inherited it a few years ago when she passed away. So I know it's history . She bought it new , and never had any crazy work done to it . It worked really well for the first year or so. But then recently it started acting up...

No, I made sure that I was plugged into the external speaker jack ... lol

Just a thought , but try reporting it to the FCC as a Ham operator issue instead of as an 11 meter issue . Since it's effecting the 10 & 12 meter bands as well . I had the same issue here a few years ago . Something at my neighbors house was effecting 11 meters for me too . But it was also...

I think I may have answered my own question . I've been researching , and I think that the VR12 may be the culprit. Previously my Cobra 2000 was having a mic gain issue . If you turned the mic gain up to around the 10 or 11 o'clock position it would get really wonky when it was keyed up . Now...

Hi everyone, I've got a 5 pin Cobra 2000 GTL that I'm having an issue with . I haven't used it in awhile , so I pulled it out , and wired my D104 Silver Eagle up to it ... and first of all, it's receiving whether I have the mic hooked up to it or not . And second , in order to hear the CB , I...
