    RCI 2995 DX problem

    Update...... Problem solved. At the front of the board (closest to the face of the radio) there is a plug where the wires from the mode switch plug onto the main board. Its marked FM AM USB LSB and so on. Directly behind this plug are two surface mount transistors (so I thought), turns out they...

    RCI 2995 DX problem

    I checked bias on it this morning and made adjustments according to the manual. I will check again to be sure. It does have the IRF520 mosfets in it and I know for sure they are good. The only thing I'm not certain of is the 2314 driverbeen replacing caps and checking voltages at points you...

    RCI 2995 DX problem

    What little audio it produces sounds good on another radio that is close by. The problem is that there is no swing to it. The only swing I see on the meter in AM mode is only about half a watt and it swings backwards from 5 watts dead key back to 4.5 when I audio into the Mic.

Now more about the radio, switch installed to turn amp off so I'm testing with the amp off. In AM mode and RF...

    Cobra 2000 freq reads 35 mhz on key up

    Not sure about the FET's. Haven't got that far yet. Just got finished with the recap on the radio and counter board. Just turned it on and found the problem. It shows the correct freq on receive but instantly goes to 35 mhz when it's keyed.

    Cobra 2000 freq reads 35 mhz on key up

    Hi folks, need help on this please. I have a 2000girl on the bench that displays the correct freq on rx but changes to 35 mhz when keyed. I have a sencore sc3100 scope with built in freq counter which shows that the radio is in fact dead on freq when keyed so it seems to be a display only...

    Sonar br21

    Hi nomadradio, actually I would like to replace both T2 and T3 just to be safe. I did actually locate a couple of the transistors for around 15 bucks each. I know the little box really isn't worth the money it will take to repair it but I just have a soft spot in my heart for odd things like the...

    Sonoma, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! This is exactly the type of information I need. I also want to publicly apologize, I sometimes get a bit out of sorts when I ask a simple question and people start telling me things like "oh you don't want to do that" or "you need to leave it like it is". I have...

    cobra 2000 unhacking

    Thank you both for the reply. I do understand that most people would like the expo kit and unlocked voice lock but that's not my cup of tea. I understand that there is more to it than just a couple of wires. In my first post I stated that the rest of the mod had already been reversed, meaning...

    cobra 2000 unhacking

    It did work but it was just a case of very poor workmanship. Nasty solder joints, bare wires and that sort of thing.
