Cobra 29wxnwst I know I shouldn't

[stang]

Anyone have any other ideas what might be going on with this thing. It's swinging from 1 w to 3-3.5 but that's it. Someone mentioned the mic might be weak not modulating hard enough to make it swing like it should.. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Well good news my new meter is junk. My mods turned out great after all I just found out. Also found out today we have a local radio guy who's been working on them 40+ years. Took my radio to him this evening told him what I had done & that I thought I had messed it up. He put it on his meter dead key 1 watt swing 18 watts. Clean & clear sounds pretty damn good. Guess now I need to go get busy doing the schottkey receive mod and it'll be done. While I was there I got a D 104 desk mike, a frequency counter and a Uniden PC-122. So now I get to see if I can do the same mods to the uniden I did to the 29. Even better I talked skip a couple times on the way home so it was a gooooooooooooooood day!

The irf520 mosfet conversion/mod is capable of produceing 30-35w when you tune everything else. Be sure not to turn any cans and if you are or are planning to run an amp make sure the deadkey is set at no more than 3w. Also be carefull when tuneing the coils. It is real easy to mess things up. But I encourage you to learn and good luck

Hey stang leave that PC122 alone. They pack a mean Punch stock!! Great ssb radio!! I have a pc122xl and it is one nice radio. Small package that packs a mean punch. The 1969 final in the 122 is a rugged device and is clean. I wouldn't mess with that particular radio. Buy a cobra 25 or a other 29 and play with those IMO. The pc122 is just a good radio without any mods IMO. Anyway hope all is well and that you are feeling better. God bless.
