    Cobra 29 ltd switches?

    Anybody know what the 6 pins on a cobra 29 ltd ch.9 switch do? I know 2 are ground, 2 are hot and the yellow activates ch.9. I'm just wondering if there is like an input and output with the 6 pins. Like power comes in top 2 pins and out bottomed 2 pins. Basically what are the 6 pins for? Thanks

    galaxy dx 99v2 tuning pots?????

    So there is no info on where the different pots are to turn up or down am power, sideband power, alc and so on for the relatively new galaxy dx 99v2. There is info for the discontinued 99v but not the 99v2. Anybody know the tuning spots on the galaxy dx 99v2? Maybe vr14????

    Right on! That must have been some primitive equipment to wire line back in 70s. Lol yeah nothing like working up in the derricks for weeks on end.... gets pretty lonely. But I haven't decided what I'm going to do with the scope yet, I'm just going to forget about it for a few days. That would...

    Yeah no worries, I bought the scope for shits and giggles and to learn something new... I have no problems using it for target practise. Maybe your right, I should stick to my day job instead of geeking out on a scope.

    Rf sampler smoked out my radio

    10-4. The radio didn't have a burnt trace before I hooked it up to the scope. The first time I hooked it up to the scope the radio didn't turn on.... I looked and it burned the trace. I repaired the trace with solder, powered up the radio without the scope and it worked fine. Hooked it up to the...
