Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm just doing these mods for my own amusement and trying to learn a thing or two in the process. What did you mean by companion part? Thanks

How do you remove the faceplate on a cobra 29 ltd so you can access the bolts and wires. I know to obviously take the 4 screws out on the faceplate/chassis, but it it looks two peices. Everytime I try to take it off there is a nightmare of wires and other things restricting me. Do you have to...

Yeah well it was my understanding that people see at least 20 watts pep with the mod. I'm just wondering what the deal is...

Thanks for reply I will check for 3.2 volts. The ebay kit came with the 520 mosfet and all the caps, resistors and diode. Thanks

Which fet are you referring to? The mosfet kit I got was off ebay. Which stages are you referring to? I peaked the two coils and l17 and l20 as per instructions which didn't seem to do a whole lot. Thanks

So I did the mosfet install on a 29 ltd chrome and followed the directions on cbtricks and I am only showing 12 watts pep. I thought I would see atleast 20 watts pep. Do you only see the big numbers with the 29 ltd classics??

I just used what I had available so I could get back on air :)

Thank you for the info! Definally learned something new from you and the article. Thanks for your input!

Sound cut out again :mad:. Found a couple more questionable solder joints and re soldered. And same thing, sound gets quiet and I hit the side a couple times and sound is back. I like to flip between AM and lsb. Starting to get real agitating.... still technically under warranty.

Howdy, I was wondering if it made a difference what fuse holder to use for a texas star dx 350 hdv? I used an in line atc 8 guage fuse holder with a 30 amp fuse. Would a fuse holder like agu be more appropriate or it makes no difference? Thanks for the input!

Thanks, I'm a dumbass. Yea it lists up too 100 uf.

Yeah the craftsman 82008. Thanks

Yeah I'm just trying to check capacitance with the capacitance setting on the metet. I'm trying to check 30v 220 and 440 uf capacitors and always get ol on the meter. I've tried discharging with no luck :(

So I got a digital multimeter and everytime I check a new or used uf capsitor it always reads ol on meter. And yes I wait several seconds hoping I will get a reading and it always reads ol. Do I just have a pos craftsman meter? Any help would be appreciated!

Figured it out! Bad solder joint, some L bracket on the side. See pic. Hope this helps someone.

So I got a new galaxy dx 959 with a 3 wire echo board and open clarifier. After about 5-10 minutes with the radio on the sound gets quiet. The roger beep through the talk back even gets quiet.Sometimes if I tap the radio the sound will get loud again. Seems like after the radio has been on for a...

Just a little 20 watt soldering iron got it done with minimal damage :)

The keying transitor by the relay went bad. Just replaced transitor by the relay and it's up and running again!

I got a new texas star dx 350 hdv and it worked well for a couple months now. I decided I was going to upgrade the power wires to 8 guage and the antenna and transmit coax Jack's to 14 guage. Well I got everything soldered in and feeling proud until I turned the amp on. When I turn the amp on...
