    Cobra 2000 GTL power issue

    I replied in other other post. I had forgot I posted this. I had also recapped the 2000, and replaced a lot of the transistors in the power supply chain although I feel there was no need. Upped the cap for the main power supply etc.

    Cobra 2000GTL Super Star UFO 1604 Unlocking issue

    I can tell you this seems to be normal. I have the same setup I inherited from my father in law and I know he played with it for a long time, and many hours of adding capacitors etc. Still has the same issue. I played around a little myself, but I am not a tech. Basically I moved what he had...

    Add this to your toolbox!

    When I had my C64's, my father in law and I built custom supplies with metal project boxes. Of course that was when Radio Shack was a real electronics store.

    Texas Ranger base

    Don't they have that covered with the RCI-29? I dunno, I like the look of the Galaxy-2547, or whatever they've turned into, or recycled. I have 2 2547's, they don't get much play, as I like my old school 2950.

    OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION

    Don't most power supplies, surge strips, and most all electronics that have AC surge protection have these wired in? I have may power strips from top brands like APC, Belkin etc. as well as a APC h15 for my TV and entertainment system that most likely have an MOV. I also have a...

    Small HF amp

    First SSB radio I had, bought it new "peaked and freaked", at least that's what was written on the box. Talked all over the world with it back in 79 with a Radio Shack 1/2 wave omni, stock. My late father in law talked me into SSB, and then it began.
