Hello, I do have a some Motorola 2n6124 transistors that I have used in a couple of my TRC-465 radios. I was wondering if a better alternative is the TIP42C? Unless the TIP42C is not ideal to use as the AM regulator. Thanks on any input regarding this. Hope ya'll have been doing well.

Wonder if Google is planting all of that in Nevada. They bought a BIG chunk of land many years ago. (Circa 2017?). Reason I know this is because at the end of a work day, some rock crushing equipment got moved just off the side of the road onto some bare land... Not even half hour later or so...

Thank ya! :)

I got the names mixed up! I apologize. I meant you are great too! :) Here is the link for the original OP to your upload: Cobra 89/1000 GTL service manual.

I posted in another thread about the service manual for the 89 GTL. With patience and as long as he has it, he will have it uploaded. Dan is pretty great like that. :)

Hello Dan. There is a gentlemen here as well as myself in need of a Cobra 89 GTL service manual, which is in Sam's CB-235. If you don't have that one, I believe CB-217 has the Cobra 29 GTL in it, which should be the same board inside the 89 GTL. (It very well might be a Cobra 25 GTL board, but...

I believe the service manual of a Cobra 25 or 29 GTL would work just fine as the 89 GTL is just either a 25 or 29 GTL board inside a case.

Why I will stay at 28.300 to 28.500. Not going to exclude Technician operators from talking to me. :)

You got mail.......... :D Lol! Lives rent free in my mind.

I am going to try to haul back the two Imax 2000 antennas I have. One was given to me around 2017. The 2nd one was from a lot of radios I picked up around the same time. One could use some help in protecting the fiber glass, but may as well do the same on the other one that is in better shape...

Niiiiiiiiiiice! Yep. That will do it. :)

I will just slowly walk away with my crappy 200 watt amps... :( Now we need the pictures on the house warmers that can peak that meter. :D

I finally was able to bring back the Palomar 350z my father bought back in the 1980s last month. But as it was stated in another thread when I asked, it isn't quite worth the investment to try and get it going again as that particular model is riddled with issues that the cost to even try and...

I will not go passed Windows 10. I barely went to it in 2021. :D After this? Going to some distribution of Linux. And even I dislike the way Linux is done with all its confusing files and scattered in a million folders. I miss the Commodore Amiga days... :)

Appreciate you with the information. Mobile is doing well and should be good to go for a long time. (I recapped the Cobra 146 GTL a couple years ago.)

I did relocate it to the back of the radio on the chassis so its now more sturdy. I did add two of the 10nf ceramic caps near each capacitor. Radio still seems happy. :) Thanks again!

Appreciate the feedback. I do have a 2nd 1000uf 35v cap off the clarifier potentiometer. I will see if I got some 10nf caps to put along the electrolytics. It looks heavy, but the part alltogether was very light weight. The board itself held the legs good, but I dont think it would break off...

Happy to report that using the 2 capacitors and a 7808 worked a treat. :) Just to be sure I wasn't imagining things, I hooked back up the other TRC-451, and it was off like i mentioned earlier. Put back my Cobra 146 GTL (The one I put the 7808 in.), and it is much better. I ended up using a...

Very much appreciated! My trusty Cobra 146 GTL out in the mobile will be brought in as well for some attention. :)

One more question, would this be the exact case for the Cobra 146 GTL as well?
