    Siro 5000 vs Wilson 1000... The results

    It also concurs with my findings...when i had a center loaded antenna on the trunk it tuned in much better

    Siro 5000 vs Wilson 1000... The results

    Yes thats my car there! I used to have the wilson mag on the roof and it tuned in a little better but now much. And that was on my altima sedan. My coupe now has a sun roof so theres even less metal now. I really wanted to go for the low profile-type look and truthfully the wilson on the...

    Siro 5000 vs Wilson 1000... The results

    Since you posted a picture of the altima sedan and not the coupe, i can tell you that the sedan doesnt tune it very well either as i had one too. Also thats a 2013...different design...slightly Not positive why the wilson wouldnt tune in too good, a 55 r4 on a trunk mount tuned damn near flat...

    Siro 5000 vs Wilson 1000... The results

    OK just ordered it from H&Y. $63 + shipping. let's see how it works out. I hope it will tune better than the wilson did, that thing always gave me a hard time tuning. Anyway I saw there's the P5000 and the Turbo P5000. the Turbo was around $5 less. What's the differences between these two...

    Siro 5000 vs Wilson 1000... The results

    Drilling is always the best way but in my case its now an option. Im going on a trip and was going to slap the wilson on, either magnet or trunk lip since i have both but this thread is making me think to grab a sirio instead. Saw them on h&y for around $60 so was thinking, what the hell!

    Do you guys think a wilson trunk lip mount would hold up better with the sirio on it versus the wilson mag mount?

    Siro 5000 vs Wilson 1000... The results

    Let me ask you a potentially stupid question if I may. Will the magnet mount from a Wilson 5k work with the Sirio 5k? In other words, can I screw the Sirio onto the Wilson mag base...sorta plug & play or would I need to buy a Sirio mag mount? Sorry if this is a silly question but over on...

    Cobra 29 RX problems

    Sorry you could't get it working. If it's a new radio they should warranty it. Had a friend tell me that if you have a Cobra radio regardless of condition that has a problem, you can send it to Cobra and send them $40 or so and they will give you a new (or perhaps factory refurb) radio.

    You can get the values on cbtricks. They have the service manual posted. It has the voltage table in there

    Cobra 29 RX problems

    heck out the mic and the mic wires too. Also confirm the audio ic is working properly. put the radio in PA mode and plug an external speaker into the PA jack. if it works (which it most likely would) then the audio IC is alright. You can also check TR-7 and D5 & D6. If that doesn't help...

    Cobra 29 RX problems

    Pretty much the same problem i was having. Check D2 and D3 with your diode tester snd make sure they arent blown.

    What's Wrong With This Picture and Description?

    Anyway that said, im done with the thread. If someone wants the radio they can buy it. If they don't then they won't. I dont sell bad stuff. You can cheat someone one time then your reputation is marred. Having a viable outlet to sell and trade items and have good quality discussions is worth...

    What's Wrong With This Picture and Description?

    What is it you'd like guaranteed? That the radio will do 35 watts on someone else's meter? because my Bird that was calibrated 3 months ago is not accurate to Weasel standards? You want me to guarantee the radio works properly? because someone can't open the radio and chop a bunch of wires...

    What's Wrong With This Picture and Description?

    David Crabtree, is that you? There are many radios after modifications that do over 30pep. Are you seriously saying you've never seen one? I have seen 29's perfectly stock that are swinging to around 20 peak. So after some tweaking you dont thinks its possible to get more? If you want to...

    If your life is that morally bankrupt that you troll around trying to screw up for sale threads, that knock yourself out there my friend.:redface: Nope no dual mosfets here. In fact i havent heard of dual mosfets in a 29. Single, sure just havent seen dual. So yes this is what you see ( hope...

    What's Wrong With This Picture and Description?

    Thanks. Pretty clean too. Wasnt put on a scope but i had the scanner on 54 (hence the radio being keyed on Ch.4 in the pic) and to be honest there was a little splatter but very minimal

    FS: Great Talking Cobra 29

    In light of what Wire Weasel tried to insinuate that I am lying and this radio is not doing what The Bird claims, let me put it to rest with a bunch of pictures indicating the +/- 40 PEP. Note the TX light is CLEARLY illuminated. You can even see the needle pinned in the last picture...
