Maybe this will help someone. I installed a Cobra 25 in a friends Nissan Sentra with a K40 mag mount antenna. Got flat SWR and everything was looking good till we turned on the engine and a terrible noise started. I took the the extra coax (about 2-3 feet) and wound it up in a small coil about 2...

I'll keep an ear out for it and see if I hear it. I have a dog shock collar and when you push the button it can be heard on 27.185 ! and makes a pulse sound.

Thanks for the info !

I am looking for feed back on the Cobra 142 GTL good or bad, thanks.

The same thing happen to me yesterday, but I stay at MY speed. When we got to a passing zone the idiot was still on my bumper, so I rolled down the window and montioned him to pass, he went by and waved ! What a dumb ass. I think most drivers have no idea what they are doing. Our auto's have...

50 foot Rohn 25 with a GMRS repeater antenna on the top, 2M / 70CM vertical at 40 feet, 1/2 wave 75M dipole at 48 feet and a 10M 1/2 wave at 50 feet. A99 on a push up pole for 11M.

Thanks

Boy you started a good one ! There is a lot of theorys, and here's mine. Commercail towers get struck more than you might think, but they are grounded so good the path goes to ground instead of the feed line. I have a 50 foot rohn 25 tower and eight years ago it took a direct hit, it blew up a...

The voltage where the light hooks up is 0.4 volts, not 12 like it should be, geuss I messed something up !

Well, I opened her up and found the location of the meter light. I had some 14 volt rice bulb lights on hand so I took the old bulb out and held the new bulb to the connection to see if it would work and it lit up. I soldered the new bulb into place, went to turn the radio on and IT WAS ALL...

Anyone ever heard of one of these ? They are called CB's and operate on FM. I know that they are export radios but was wondering what frequincy's they operate on.

That's amazing, I am a retired pilot. I use to fly into Oklahoma city alot. One week we were getting interference south of OK city and I reconized it as CB lingo ! (this was in 1992) I reported the interference as did other aircraft, next week it was gone. I have allways wondered what happen to...

Got it, thanks.

I am very happy with a k40 mag mount. It's NOT the K40 with the coil at the bottom. The mag mount is about 6 inch in diameter and the wip looks like a fire stick with a small ajustable metal wip at the top.

O, it's not a bulb but a LED instead? I have not had a chance to look inside yet.

14 volts, thanks !

The meter light has gone out on my Cobra 150. Anyone know what voltage bulb it is ?
