We used to call them "Slip-Tronics" becasue of the drifting problems. :-) 73 riq165

Hey drifter8291- I have not measured the current but the fuse in the power cord is 20 amps. I am using a Samlex 1223 power supply. http://www.rffun.com/catalog/hamps/3747.html 73 riq165

DX Vader- There is no fan. Heat sink is huge. Cheech- I will do a better job when time allows, but here are some pics..... http://www.geocities.com/channel22a/pics/radios/Cobra200.gif 73 riq165

Just got my 200 yesterday, I was going to hold back on commenting until I had spent more time with it but since you asked.... The frequency mods on the net are slightly off. You need to move R138 from its factory position up to the empty R619 position. This enables 11 meters AND TX on what Cobra...

This might be of interest. http://www.video-observer.com/imax/imax2000.htm *IF* you are having TVI issues with the IMAX2K the ground plane kit will help... at least it did for me. 73 riq165

Hi Drifter- What kind of antenna on the base? How high? Coax? Are your phone lines on a pole or underground? How close is the antenna to the phone / power poles? All of this, and more, factors into potential TVI and Phone RFI. The real test is to try it and see what happens. Hopefully you...

This might help or send you looking in the right place. Ranger has this posted in their "Tech Tips", but it says NO modulation any mode. Your radio might be on its way, or could be something altogether different. _________________________________________ July Tech Tip of the Month: No...

How low? Is it on all modes or just AM? 73 riq165

I stumbled across this a while back... http://www.cbworldinformer.com/200202/200202.htm 73 riq165

The +10 switch is puzzling and from the pictures I have seen of the 200, it too includes a +10 switch. It is always nice to have a spare front panel switch. I just wonder if it was done on purpose maybe to include 4 more positions on the ABCD band switch? Nomad, looking forward to reading the...

Have you considered changing the channel selector knob? Something like on the 142, 148 etc... put some kind of rough marking on one side of the flat to distinguish up from down. He would know about what channel he was on when the knob was straight up and down then he could count the offset. Not...

Sine wave demonstrations tell you nothing about how a dynamically controlled circuit will respond to complex (voice) waveforms... How long was this sine wave applied before the pic was snapped? Just because it is not clipping in this pic does not mean it will not clip with voice. That said...

RF- I won't bore you (or me) with the technical reasons why I feel the 706 is better, but I will use this analogy... A VW Bug and a Porsche 911 are traveling on a road. They both are German made, both have 4 wheels, both can go the speed limit (or exceed it), and both will get you from point...

King- It is all about what it is worth to YOU. I "upgraded" my CB's in the early 80's and have no regrets, it was worth it to me. The 706MKIIG covers 6M, 2M & 70cm, licensing for that is real easy if you are interested and that would increase the value of the radio to YOU. You could go...

Call Ranger and double check. I had to send mine back for warranty work. They asked me where I bought it etc... I told them that I had the eKey installed, they told me that they would not remove it, and they didn't. If you don't get an answer from them that you like, just unplug it before you...
