I can't believe you only got 18 watts out of that Cobra 29. Every Cobra 29 I have ever tuned I have gotten at the Very Least 35 Watts out of them. But I personally dont hold back, but I am not complaining, because as long as you are getting 18 watts out of it there will always work for me.... For the Record I am the Radio Doctor out of Kentucky. For Best Results you should try adjusting VR4 and/or Cut D11 and for Maximum Modulation adjust L14 L13 L12

@362Budda 35 watts out of a 2078 i doubt it you better calibrate your meter and i don't build Charlie brown trucker radios. I like em clean so you can hear what people are saying. Don't try to teach me shit I've forgot more than you'll ever know.You should be sued for malpractice!!!!!!!!!

@362Budda LMAO sounds like a hack job king

Clipping the diode = splatter. Throw in a 2SC1969 add replace some capacitors with more efficient ones, make a few adjustments and you can get a nice clean 7 swinging 35. 35 is very possible you just have to know what you are doing. Of course then you want to re-align the radio for better receive as well and recheck the frequency stabilization of the radio after all of that. Of course you need to use an Oscilloscope to get all of this right.

Do I turn the vr4 to counter clockwise or clockwise??? Can I tell which way is correct? I dont own and extra meters or anything, except for a volt meter! Please help, I Am hitting the road again in a few days and want to play with a little more power!

Is there any difference in performance between using a cigarett lighter plug for power and using a fuse in your fuse box and is there a more effecient way than either of these. Also are there any attachments i can buy ti get more range out of my cb

you clip the limiter when the radio is on i always cut the radio off first

i have a cobra 29 nightwatch and want to use power echo mic and 200 watt linear can you show me how to tune them together on the bench ? tom g. ps what is the best simple , no bells and whistles power echo mic to buy .

@362Budda Theres an npc-rc red wire mod for the ept 3600 and 6900 board that can achieve 300-350%modge with very low negative peaks on the scope.Only involves a jumper,resistor,and a diode.

Done it on a 949,connex 3300 and they both sound loud and clear;-)

[paraglidermx]

Cuttin d11 is ok if you dont use a power mic.If its dirty after u cut it...just solder it back and open vr4 on 29s
