not too bad for an 18 year old....pics

Well I got board last night and I. Looked up on my shelf and saw my two desk mics. A powered stock cobra desk mic and a tug8 D-104. Well iv been lookin for an amplified D-104 for a whole now so I thoght to myself..... I wonder if I could take the amp andstuff out of the cobra mic and put it in the D-104 and it actually work. Well, that's exactly what I did. I took the amp switch and battery form the cobra and put it in the D-104. It took me awhile of trial and error but I finally got er workin. I'm runnin it on my magnum S-6 and everyone says its loud and clear with hardly any background noise. I was pretty proud of myself. This may not seem like much to a lot of people but I thought it was pretty neat.

Good job! Playing with car stereo stuff is what got me playing with cb radios. Trial and error isn't bad but trial and success is great!

That is how you learn. If you can think it, try it. Sounds like a winner to me, now post some pics of your creation.

Ill try. All I got is my phone. I don't have a computer. But ill try and see if I can't figure it out. And thanks man.

Ok. Here is what I'm runnin. I'm currently tallkin on a magnum s-6 my dad is lettin me use since he dosent drive a truck anymore. I'm talkin on my doutherntrucker D-104 special. And I'm using an imax 2000 ground plane. The radio below is a cobra 139xlr I traded for an old midland base. She didn't work when I got er but thanks to the guys here on this fourm she's back alive and well again. Everyone says she sounds loud and clear. So ima happy camper.

Here are some pics of my work that I did. First off the pics of the cobra desk mic. Thses are pics after I done took the amp out

And here are the pics of the D-104. I'm gonna put the knb on top eventually I just can't find the drill right now. And yes as you would have guessed, the amp is the thing covered in the foam wrapping
