    My cobra 2000 gtl

    I hear yeah man, and there’s nothing wrong with having a 2000 that is in mint condition, there’s nothing wrong with paying over 400 for a very nice one, like you have. I just hate to spend a lot of money on one, and then still having to fix it, recap it and spend even more money on it. This...

    My cobra 2000 gtl

    I believe your right someone probably cracked the slug then decide to replace the whole entire can. And I believe it is L4 if my memory serves me correctly Edit: also I don’t believe the hole will cause me any problems either.it just means that this is not a Barrett-Jackson show radio with the...

    My cobra 2000 gtl

    Yes this one is a keeper for sure, I’m very happy with it, I could have payed 400 something dollars for it on eBay and still have all the same problems with it. It’s amazing the adds I see on eBay now for them. Half the time it’s a old dirty 2000 just like mine 4 or 5 pictures of it all with the...

    My cobra 2000 gtl

    Thanks Andy, I’m going to a few better pictures 0f it this weekend. The radio is pretty much stock believe it or not, other than various repairs that were made to it over the years.it even still has the 8734 pll in it, so it was never channel modded. none of the switch wiring has been hacked up...

    My cobra 2000 gtl

    Well I was able to get the radio txing with modulation now, by pulling tr24. First thing I did was change c18, then through searching I found an old thread where someone’s radio had the exact same symptoms as mine, on there radio tr26 ended up being bad, so I’m going to pull it and test it.

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    Good question, I’m not knowledgeable enough to know the answer. But if there’s something I can do on my end,in my own propert to eliminate I’m more than willing to try it, before I go try and talk to them, I also might go and attend the next monthly local ham club meeting, I know I can get...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    Also it makes rfi 24/7 what ever it is, that actually is making the noise is for sure related to there pool. What ever it is, is on all the time. From what little reading I’ve done your not supposed to run the pump 24/7.

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    Idk I will try and look over the fence they have a tall wooden privacy fence but I will get on a ladder and see what I can see. I don’t know anything about pool equipment, and very little about ac electricity. All I know is my noise issues are coming from there pool equipment. Because they had...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    The pump doesn’t squeal like a bearing is bad it just is not very quiet. Or it’s probably normal. But it puts of rfi electrically noisey. Do you know anything about how to make them quite.

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    I found a eham thread about pool pump noise.... non of it will do me any good though. Unless I get the fcc to fine them $16000 a day for everyday they operate the pump lol. To me it’s way worse for a neighbor to be causing the noise. If it was my own pool I would just cut up all the wiring and...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    I guess the short answer is don’t have a swimming pool or live near anybody that does. Atleast you own the pump and can switch it off when ever you want. I’m just totally at the mercy of the people who live directly behind me. I think the idea that I could somehow get the fcc to do something...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    I did a little more research, and it seems to be common knowledge that variable speed pool pumps create rfi, apparently the fcc has fined people over incidental radiators. The noise is not that bad until I get above channel 20. With the pump turned off I have about a s2 noise level all across...
