If you have a Cobra NW radio and want to install an echo board, Chances are you will have to use the dimmer knob for the echo control. This video shows how you can modify the useless nor/ch9/ch19 switch to be a 3 position dimmer.
On the cobra 29 nw st the orange and black wires have to be soldered together. Not the black and green. Orange and black will give you the ability to change your channel via the channel knob. Orange and green gave me channel "1" and that's it.
@urbex2007 How would you do that?

Far easier to build a circuit to change the lighting according to the conditions the radio is in. Then you wouldn't need to use up other switches.

Cool effect... but my radio doesn't illuminate AT ALL anymore. Any ideas why? Any help would be appreciated.
