... I promise I will shut up after this!!!!!

I put two radios on here tonight for giggles. A really nasty looking 40 channel Cobra 29 (not GTL or LTD... just.... 29) and a 23 channel Cobra 21. This pic has the 21 on at the time.

RCV test works fine. The pic is TX test and the Bird, the SA and the scope all show it is putting out.

I only had one Cobra mic and used the same one on both radios..... no modulation at all. I tried to test the PA on the 21 BUT.... it appears that somebody did a mod to the radio using the PA switch to cut RF out in half. Done before I got it.

Since there is no modulation on either radio..... I'm going to check the microphone out tomorrow to make sure it is solid.

But this really is a riot for me. FINALLY... everything neatly in place..... just a cable swap/connect.... and I am off an running.

I'll try to get over it!!!!!!!
