    Cobra 148 gtl SSB Audio Flutter Malaysia Model

    That's what I did to mine also, and the information I have on that issue also adds a capacitor. I don't remember where I found that but it was in my 148GTL notes. "Cut trace on PC board between Pin 1 of IC6 and pin 2 of IC4 ( MB3756 ). Next, install a .1uf mylar capacitor at C136 and a jumper...

    That bulletin in CB135 was the same as 1208 technical bulletin as Cobra put out. They also revised that to 1208a. I don't know how they would play out to the other 1st gen 858's. https://cbtricks.org/radios/cobra/139xlr/index.htm

    WM-1 meter

    Hard to tell without removing the meter cover. I don't think he offered the lighted version until late in the production. I know the original lamps went out pretty fast, but then it's on 8 - 12 hours a day

    WM-1 meter

    They are fuse lamp type bulbs for the meters, at least mine were. I replaced them both as they both died. I used 2 LEDs per meter for replacements. They don't give me the full light across the meter face, but as they say, good enough for govt work. edit: The bulbs were actually axial lead...

    I Miss....

    There are a few around, local Mom and Pops usually have positive attitude towards their customers...those that survived the lock downs. We live in a new world where the American dream has been squashed, hard work gets you put to the end of the line instead of the front, and if you're too smart...

    Frequency Counter Question

    I generally use an oscilloscope probe with my Counter. Probe Master makes nice ones, in the USA, and after buying several chineseiam brands, I have found they are worth the added cost.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Quiet as a church mouse here in the Mojave. I'm sure as soon as the sun peeks out, it'll change

    Careful with those lithium battery banks

    They're supposedly getting better with the technology, but at what cost. A friend of ours son had his home burn to the ground when he left his laptop charging when the went out.

    HR2510/2600 mounting bracket

    I'm looking for a mounting bracket for an HR2510/2600 radio. A friend of mines son just got his class 3 and is on the road. I plan to give him a HR2510 I had done up by "DOC" as a sort of graduation gift but I don't have, or can't find, a bracket for it. If someone has a spare and could help me...

    RCI 2950DX

    I also have an old orange face 2970 that gets out when the others don't, and a 2970N2 sitting in the box that I haven't had hooked up since I bought it. I like the pretty much straight forward use, the lighted buttons, uncluttered display, quick one button move to CB, and back again to 10...

    RCI 2950DX

    I was kinda perusing fleabay and noticed that there are so many fewer 2950DX model offered for sale, or sold, as opposed to the older 2950 models. Any thoughts on this. I have both and like them both equally actually. The DX models have a little more white noise, but are a nice radio. I have one...

    epay...radio costs

    As they got bigger, they got greedy...in my opinion. I have sold items from the time when it was more like a on-line yard sale. Mostly people clearing out what they had laying around and weren't using. Very little commercial sales, selling prices and seller fees were straight forward, simple and...

    epay...radio costs

    Well, I really wondered why the radios and other items were listed and selling for such high prices. Evidently epay charges have really gone wild since I last sold anything. Almost $60 in fees for a $150 item sold. Evidently the charges are based on item, shipping,tax...crazy. Just a rant, now...
