My first Cobra 200GTL an absolute nightmare

Still runing my 200. Its works great and the audio clarity is great. The only current thing I dont like about the radio is that the clarifier does not track with the frequency counter after a certain amount of rotation. Also did not buy the radio froma hack shop. I got it unconverted and did it myself to eliminate the possible hack.
 
well so far not to bad on mine...just waiting on the power MosFet
it rev3 PCB which is the newest board with built in tackback-ohhhhh! through the echo board..not a bad board for doing mods..thank god for my pencil tip soldering gun:p
damm what a heavy unit.. it came with the 2-2290's and the 120ohm resistors installed ...(didn't have to converted it) for the price not a bad unit and everything is easy to get to...till next update ..once again
Happy ThankGiving.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
