    Cobra 150 and 200 GTL

    Quickstop, I really cant imagine the 200 GTL behaving very well on a cigarette lighter plug. Just take the time and run you apower wire from the battery. The plug on the back looks like some of the ham rigs outthere , so a spare power cord shouldnt be too bad to come by.

    Mods for the Cobra 200GTL

    I think a lot of the reports on poor performance is do to the fact a lot od"techs" out there do not like the SMT, do not know how to work with SMT, and just in general pretty incapable outside of the realm of Cobra 29. Just MHO. :lol: You can look on here an see just as many negative...

    Linear Build

    How about doing a step by step "how-to" on a 4 or maybe 5 pill linear, that is AB biased, and good for SSB, that could be driven with a 100W radio. Something a lttle bit more than a parts list. Something a little cleaner than a class C splatter box. 73

    Wanting a good radio

    Try one of those new Cobra 200 GTL's, its an "EXPORT" model and send it to DTB and let him do his mod to speed up the AMC circuit. General radios are good, just a cheap version of the RCI radios with the stuff truckers like.( echo & shiney knobs) And yes I would definitely watch out who I...

    2290 stinger board?

    I think someone will be able to replicate that litle PCB with the 2290, and upgrade the rest of the circuitry to handle it. Or, maybe replicate that PCB on the back of the AR3300/3500. OR maybe do something similar but with MOSFETs. That would be kewl

    microphone shocking

    You need to ground the radio chassis. Then ground your amp (if running one) Then make sure you use seperate grounding wires . Radio to chassis, Amp to chassis. Not radio + amp+chassis.

    Best mic for SS3900?

    Go with the Astatic 636L Noise Canceling Mic, or the Telex-Turner RK-56 if you have a Deep voice. No need to Waste your coin on a power mic, if radio is tuned right, antenna system is right, then all you need to do is clean up back ground noise. And , a power mic, IMHO, is not for that.

    Astatic 575-M6 Problem

    Mic will not key up, Changed battery and noticed the power connection for battery is pulled off the board. Could this be my culprit? Its a 6 pin, hooked to a President Jackson. Any suggestions? 73 :wow

    Best coax length

    Best coax length for a 102"SS whip. I run 27.185 occasionally (about 50%) and 27.385 LSB (the other 50%) I know the rule of thumb is 18' , but I am also a firm believer that the rule of thumb is for busting lol
