Cobra stock mic I have is wired like this: 1. Yellow 2. Shield 3. Black 4. Purple 5. Red

Wanted to share a simple crystal checker build with you folks in need of testing crystals.

You got that right!

Do you know how to work on them? I have one that came in that got smoked and not had time to check it out. It's an old original 5 pin side mic 148 GTL. If your a tech and want to work on it then pay the shipping and you can have it.

Update on the radio. Came in this morning and she fired right off. So far so good. I will let her sit powerless over the weekend then see what she does come Monday. Thanks again to everyone that has chimed in here to help. Love seeing this site get back to what it use to be and that is helping...

Andy you always amaze me with the awesome info you post on this site to help others! You give such great info and grafts to boots. Thanks for all the help you give to everyone here buddy!

Yes Sir with the age on this radio I agree with recapping. Thanks for the tips and ideas!

Mike, I will have to set it up and be ready to get those readings for ya in the morning when the radio is dead. Once it starts working it stays working until the power is taken away over night or many hours powerless I should say. I will try to get them before it comes alive. Only talking a few...

Yes Sir the radio will talk fine when the RX is missing. PA works fine also. The only thing that is not working is the receiving part until the radio sits on for like 3 to 5 mins then pops on and works fine all day until you turn it off for the evening. Does not matter if there is an external...

Yes sir transmits with no problem.

May of 2003, Its one of the old sound trackers.

Anyone ever had a cobra 29 LTD Classic Sound tracker that would not receive until it warms up? No matter what you do to it it will not receive until at least 4 or 5 min warm up time then it just pops on and will work the rest of the day with not problems. This happens each and every morning...

Here ya go.

Used a 5 volt LED out of an old computer case power light.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year everyone!

Yes Sir Andy is awesome is all I can say. Very happy he is here to help us!
