thanks I have been messing with radios for years. I just lack test equipment. I'll give it a try. Thank you. CW sounds normal on my 2995 DX LSB and USB sound almost like AM does.

yeah tone control would have been nice. My SSB sounds just like AM kinda high pitched hissy sound. It's not easy to listen to. Wish someone would chime in about a trimmer adjustment. I'm sure that's all it is.

SSB sounds like AM. SSB on my 2995 has a very high pitch hissy sound to it. Not that low hollow SSB sound that I'm used to hearing on other SSB radios.

thanks Jeff any threads on how to fix this issue on the RCI 2995 DX

I have the RCI 2995 DX the white noise on SSB is super bad. Very high pitch hissy sound and not the hollow SSB sound that I'm used to on my Cobra 2000. It's hard to listen to and pick out any weak signals. Anyone here have a alignment procedure for the EPT695015A PCB board that might fix this...

Hello, Anyone here have a suggestion how to lower the white noise on ssb on a 2995 DX? I have a 2008 model, great radio and talks great to. But the white noise on SSB both upper and lower is terrible. Very hissy sounding and I'm looking for the hollow ssb sound like my Cobra 2000 has. Turning...

ok thanks

I'd like to do this mod for the on/off switch for the amp also I have a RCI 2995 DX 2008 Model with LCD display. So where does the switch actually go? Green or Yellow wire?

so this is on the cobra 2000 board your speaking of? If so I will get it replaced with a higher voltage value.

ok thanks everyone for your input. I really appreciate it.

thanks for your input, radios works fine. I'll just leave the 12 tants in there.

I have a Cobra 2000 GTL I just finished recapping all electrolytics on the main board. Now from what I have heard and read is that the tantalums should be changed out also before failure. My question is has anyone swapped out all the 12 tantalums for electrolytics in the Cobra 2000 before?

thanks for your response. I installed a 100uf 50V in LOC C367 seems to be working just fine.

still need help on this issue

thanks, still trying to find out about loc c367 from the factory there is a mylar in there but on the silk screen on the pcb board it has a electrolytic cap stamp on the board.

I have a in good condition dx 302. When I got it the audio was terrible sounding. I did some of the audio mod that I found online. I put in a better speaker and raised the value on 4 electrolytic caps. My question is that at LOC C367 there is a 1uf mylar cap there and they say to replace it with...

I will check, thanks.

Also the wire has been removed between L39 and TP7. It's not there. Should this be put back to stock configuration? So how is power being sent to the final? I'm assuming it's being supplied 12V instead of 8V cause the wire isn't there.

thanks Frank, I'm going to leave the radio the way it is. I'm not a tech but know some. So TP3 is a typo in my service manual? Wow ok thanks for your valuable input. I appreciate it.

ok thanks, you know your radios! I got the bias adjusted on the driver (30ma) but not the final only because the wire isn't there anymore. I guess I won't know the bias of the final, we'll see how long that final lasts. The bias final VR is at position 1 o'clock
