Colt has not had a radio with that name on it in 25 years. Best thing to do is buy a radio that someone knows how to work on and something a bit more current.

Yeah but they are selling off the junk 949 and 959 and looking for a radio they don't have to take to a repair shop every few weeks due to poor design and craftsmanship. I don't even accept 949's and 959's in for service here anymore, I'm sick of looking at them.

Well SwitchKit, I think you are dead wrong about not putting out that kind of money for those units. You can not just go out a find a big ugly base station that's built like a rock and made to last with real solid parts anymore, why? NO ONE MAKES THEM ANYMORE ! The 2000's are built to last and...

I will admit that in my 30 years of doing CB repairs, I have heard all the wildest crazy stories you could ever hear, and the coax debate is endless. Too many guys tend to over-think things and that's where they waste time and money, if you want to debate things, do so, but if you want to hook...

Yeah, I'm like you, I don't think he's got it hooked up correctly to start with, I've installed many many of these boards and at no point is there 3 wires soldered together.

you know, I've never tried to wire a 5 tone up as a key up, why would you... but, I have a few left here in stock, I might have to try that tonight. I know it won't work with a single tone board, and I'm pretty sure it's not gonna work with a 5 tone, but, the 4 tone is not a relay board, so, it...

Why does it have to be an export to be the loudest, do you want the loudest radio or do you want an export? I have guys giving me exports to sell for them since the new cobra 29 they got from me is louder than their export is now, so, which are you actually looking for?

Depends on the situation and the setup, sometimes swing is not a good thing, but, some people have to have that swing, mostly so they can say they have it, regardless if it beneficial or not... that's experience !

Well, I do build them, and they keep coming back. I like to make things work better than what you can find with an internet education. 30 years later, and I'm still here.

okie dokie, just curious.

Did you ever get that mic wired up yet? Email me at: dodgem250@somd.net

well, I'm glad to see you found my site LOL, busy place here this cb shop.

is that the same 2112 that runs the Mauldropper.com forum for No Name amps?

I have a 150 Watt internal Stinger board, it's an RM AD203 specifically for Cobra 29 units... first $75.00 bucks can take it from me.

LOL. Most all HAM's are great guys, they all have a certain personality though, but, when you're a CB'er and they are a Ham'er, then it's like talking to a car salesman about auto repair, the only thing they have in common is the car, so, what I mean is, the CB'er and the Ham guy only have 2 way...

Some radios have been known to do an average "first-key" of 35 to 40 watts, but, not all radios have the same output, regardless if they are the same radio or not. In most cases the radios that are showing a 40 watt or more PEP, has very little to do with the Final upgrade. I've installed a few...

The Facts: From Dodgem's CB Radio Workbench The ERF2030 is a replacement for a 2sc1969 The EN1230 is a "Swing Kit". The word "Companion" just sells itself better than just saying Swing Kit. I build my own Companion parts here in the shop and I have actually improved the design off the...

Hello, I want to ask you a quick question about the Cobra 29A 23 channel units. I have one here with a poor receive issue and I have tried everything. It does receive rather well when there is a good loud radio, but, as far as static from the squelch off position, I get a few pops here and...

Hello, I saw your post about the old cobra 29A. I'll agree there is not much to these units, but, if you clip D24, you'll have a lot more punch from this unit. D24 is located right directly behind the ext speaker jack and back towards to the front of the radio about 1 -1/2" from the ext speaker...

I have a cobra 25 gtl that's been laying around the shop here and I have the same problem with, you would think after fighting with that thing, I would eventually have figured it out, but, nothing, replaced the audio IC, done this done that, nothing, no audio at all, here's what it does: 1)...
