Hey gang, I remember reading on the forum about changing the squelch on a cobra 29 so it doesn't fade in when squelch breaks and fade out when engaged, kinda annoying to some folks. Instead, there was a mod to make it like a galaxy squelch, like a hard break. I can't find it anywhere. I think it was just adding a resistor or capacitor somewhere but I don't remember. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or did I lose another marble?

I found it, I think, on grumpy's forum, but the link is broken. I did the mod over a year ago and it really did help the squelch action. Here is the old link. I also checked the way-back machine, no luck.


Also, on the radioreference forum, someone mentions increasing c147, that may be the mod I'm looking for. I will look into it, the schematic and my notes.
