Need new channel board for Cobra 2000

links work here too.

Shadetree, how are you liking the different features of that kit?
have you gotten used to selecting the menus and such?

I think one of the best features of the kit is that I can wind the dial right up to 27.555 without having to change bands. Then I push the knob to go right back to 38. I haven't used the other features much yet, but I did look at my notes on the 5kc channel steps for when the DX gets rolling so I can QSY real quick. I heard someone from Brazil today on 555 asking someone to QSY. I followed and they were gone. I am going to set up my Carl Built 4 pill to go with the Madison, it is on the list. Then I can go head to head with my Stryker 955 and XForce 4 pill. The receive on the Madison is so nice, and changing bands on the 955 is funky so it might not be much of a contest.

There was a guy on fleabay selling his version of that board with your choice of display colors a while back. Haven't seen him come up in a the ads for a while.

Umm, wait a minute. "Channel board"? Do you mean the one with two LED channel digits on it?

Yes, the board with the 2 LEDs . My board is damaged.

Possibly Barkette electronics. I also saw just this weekend someone was parting out a 2000.

Where did you see someone parting one out?

Leads me to wonder how high a price you could ask for a new one. Gotta figure there's a market for it.

Yeah I am sure there is. I have been searching all over the internet, no luck finding anyone selling them...used to, not anymore I guess.

I have one, but I will have to dig it out. Bought it off of fleabay a few years back.

Great, let me know, I’d appreciate it!

I actually looked last night and nothing. One will show up. A guy named fasttrack used to sell them on e bay. Possibly something happened to him. I have not seen him in a long time.

Ralph was the name of the fasttrack*09 guy. Not to be found on Ebay any more.

His "backwoods rf" web site is gone.

Dern!

Anyone have or know where I can find a replacement channel board for a Cobra 2000? One I have is cracked down the middle and is not working.

Maybe you can solder some wire across the traces where it is cracked?

Cracked in the middle they sell pcb glue i believe to glue it back

 

[kaos513]

Maybe can we see a pic of the broken board ?

Maybe someone can make one for you
