I didnt think a coax issue either, i said his antenna is better than yours, his is alum. yours is Fiberglass (am i the only one that read that) lol. I have 15 yr old RG8X, thin and grey kind only 50 ft, that i will still keep when i upgrade to a better antenna. I recently installed a $7 2SC2999...

Looks like we both have ugly paper weights with cord's, lol. Discontinued parts on 90 LTD's. I might have to just buy a working one, keep this for parts. Now, back to the 25??

Quoting the Joker (Heath Ledger) "Why so serious" ? Cbing is supposed to be fun, last time i checked. :bdh:

You're basicly already in the same wavelength (height) His ant is a tad more superior to your's, in the rx area that is. Look at his ground plane, not only excellent for recieve but great for birds to sit on and poop all over your house, lol. Before spending $150 on a new ant, just to hear...

I really dont think that makes a difference on AM, majority of Cobras are not exactly on freq anywhoo. If your OCD is bothering you with one digit buy a lil freq counter for $30-$60 or pay a tech the same to do something no one will notice. Try a 1 day radio check with it to really see if it...

Tricked again......this thread is 11 years old, lol. IW172, it doesnt matter which board is soldered first for perfoming correctly, just as long as you dont do a hack job, also on the audio wire, use heat shrink not black tape.

Just reverse the pin wiring, like a mirror. I will say, if you had to ask, you shouldnt be installing but ya gotta learn somehow, lol. Becareful with your gun, its very tight with front mount mic jacks.

I agree guys, to say a Boomer or Palomar is better is too funny. Xforce and these budget minded TNT's perform smooth with great reports. Im gonna buy a 350 HD this Summer, of coarse i gotta save up my quarters, lol.

I have a 90ltd that has a blown chip, TX lights up too, no TX or RX and no PA. This chip isnt around anymore, so it sits.

D104's have the clearest, crispiest audio (you already know that) only downfall ive heard thru the years is the poor key-up & un-key noise. Some can be fixed or adjusted to kinda stop that annoying noise. Galaxy or Sadelta echo desk mics are very crisp too, echo and beeps are not for some but i...

Tripple check everything, do the PA test, see if its the audio chip? Does it have RX?

Ive owned mine for over 20 yrs, great for out in the driveway to tune antenna's cause it's so small. Dont expect it to fix your high SWR's (it wont) you really should just get to the heart of the problem, not a cheap tuner that tricks your reading's.

When you push in the dimmer knob, everything that has lights turns off, im doing this right now, lol. Im just trying to help?

OOOOH i see, its got a TX light in the meter......okay. Im guessing when he pulled the faceplate/bezel off, there might be a loose connection. I agree, follow & check all the freq plugs. Im thinking its minor, i hope, ya gotta get in there and prod around. When doing this, always push in the...

Pushing in the dimmer knob sounds like the gremlin, this sucks man. :headbang

Reading your reply Towerdog, i thought for sure you were gonna try and rip my post, lol, thanx for not doing that. When i turn on my radio, i listen for awhile, then key-up and say hello (rude ppl suck) also my radio warms up a tad. Just like with cars, i will never buy a new one again, ya loose...

I think Galaxy gets a bad rap with this "drifting" issue, one person says it, then another, after awhile it gets burned in everyones head. Kinda like if you keep thinking or saying you're sick, you will make yourself sicker. My 959 doesnt drift at all, there's a couple things to do to really...

The slug in the back might be turned up too high also, my 29 classic was keying at 8w swinging fake 33 ghost watts. L14 was almost falling out, must of been a truck stop tweak & peak, lol. Now it's 2 swinging 17w, perfect for an amp now. If you use the RF gain or SWR cal for a var. it becomes...

Ive done alot of research on this radio, not my cup of tea. For a little bit more money, could of got a better radio, power, features & mod's. Kinda looks like a car stereo, lol.

You didnt say what kind of antenna?
