Not often does a working class man find a radio priced so friendly for the Biden-induced economic downfall we find ourselves in today! Thanks for watching!

great radio i have two of them
I've got one. Passed down from my Dad. It's like new. It stays stored but it's ready to rock and roll.
@@CBB1981 that’s awesome! Can’t beat them for what they are 👍🏻
The early Taiwan made is the best! One with the white power socket matched with white plug power cord. Had 2 of those. Just follow cobra’s technical bulletin regarding circuit update, like the diode on the voltage regulator, have it recapped, removed the corrosive glue and aligned if possible then it will serve you for another 30years ++😎
Gamma ray makes some awesome plates for sure. I got a white background with blue electric streaks on my ranger RG-99
Nice haul 294! Love that skull & cross-mics decal!!
YAHOO--@@!!
cool
nice

Awesome decals! 101IL/UDX111 waving!!!
The blue tape does look official. Awesome un- Mailing Blackduck, UDX-76 waiving a hand.

Thank you for the Great un-mailing !
Thanks for the gift sir!

Waivin back!
It's the most over rated radio ever to hit the market
Everyone has an opinion. Better than most of its time!
Can you stile get 3made amp and will it operate on 12 VDC where to buy.
Yes contact him. His phone number is on his UA-cam channel 👍🏻👍🏻
Would you be interested in getting a Cobra 148GTL for me and completely referbish it inside and out. New basel, faceplate, and knobs etc. There is know big hurry but some time this summer.
I don’t have a lot of free time these days but if you’re not in a huge hurry I can probably help you out. Send me an email to dhyder1994@yahoo.com
the 148 GTL is considered one of the best made. I Have a few radios but want one of these. and would never own a cobra 129 as it has no sideband.
I love the videos man wish you could be a little bit more detailed on some of the channels you’re putting in the 959 but now other than that I do appreciate the knowledge you’re putting out there so we all can learn it as well thank you
Thanks for watching! I will do a more detailed video explaining and showing the channels soon as I can, if you’d like 👍🏻
Absolutely fantastic. Thanks a million UDX-294
YOU ARE THE MAN THANKS FOR SHARING AND A YAHOO---@@!!!!!
Thanks stingray. Once we get moved back to Piney Flats, we should be able to talk! One too many hills between us right now.
@@udx-294tn5 YAHOO--@@!!!
Very good 294.
Amazing!
Howdy 🤠.. is it a parts radio he’s using just for receive ? I’m a bit confused .
No sir this is just a parts radio I had laying around that has the same board as his 2970n3 so I used it to figure out how he can add an external S-Meter to his radio without experimenting on it lol
@@udx-294tn5 I see ,,, very smart 👍. Just tell him I said all he needs is some S-Meter Signal Wax A 5K watt solar panel A portable air conditioner He will know ,,, 🤣🤣🤣 It’s an inside joke , I’ll fill you in later ,, he will see this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-TennesseeLol! Might need to throw in some SWR spray too.
@@udx-294tn5 No no ,, SWR only comes in wax !! Reflect reducer is the spray 🤣🤣
cool
Awesome. Congratulations. 👍
Have u looked at the bias at the radio ...final and driver section ... I think u need to have a look at the driver bias and final make sure there were they supposed to be also what voltage are u running at at a load
I need to go back through and check the linearity of each stage again just to be sure. I’m running at 14.7V. Thanks for watching. I’ve still got A LOT to learn!
Great great I see someone who understands... It's all about frequency response and roll offs...it's all about being clean...
Exactly what I’m aiming to achieve. Still have a lot to learn and extremely limited by my test equipment
I have 2, 148s and a 138
I used to have a mint 138xlr… sold it like a dummy. Both are awesome radios
Hey black duck, 73s udx358
Thanks for watching 358 👋
I would put some free band channels it that radio take it below 1 & above 40. -73's
Never done a channel mod on a 25 before. May have to look into that. Thanks for watching!
The 148 and the Uniden Grant are my favs.
I like the 29LTD better in my preference
Oh yeah… They’re great for AM.
ive got a philly uniden grant xl (almost identical to a 148) and a uniden pc76xl ..i liv3 the phillipeans models.
Oh yeah that’s a great radio!
If you look at the actual numbers the USA is doing far better than pretty much every country post covid. Inflation is at around 3% wage growth is higher than that. employment is at near record lows, 175,000 jobs added last quarter. consumer spending is strong. So perhaps you should stop listening to the media
If your life has gotten better under the Biden administration, I’m happy for you. If you believe our country is safer and more secure under the Biden administration, I feel sorry for you. Thanks for watching.
Those Philly 25's and 29's sound very nice. I like em!
Oh yeah! They’re awesome radios for sure. Thanks for watching!
Neat project, always liked the 25s. Keep up the good work my friend!!!
Thanks Ken! Love these old cobras 👍🏻
I have been looking for a 148 to set up as a base but all I have found are on eBay and I can’t seem to win one for the snipers that wait to the last second to outbid me
Yeah they’ve been selling high on there too I’ve noticed. They’re awesome radios. Hopefully you’ll find one soon just keep looking 👍🏻 if I happen to get ahold of one I’ll let you know.
@@udx-294tn5 that sounds good I have been out of the radio game for a good long time and wanting to get back in to it and these new radios I just don’t know so much about. I am kinda an old school person but I’m kinda an old person to start with haha.
Nice radio, I like them just as much as the 29. No word on the QSL/Stickers?
They still haven’t made it here. Gotta love the post office… lol. Thanks for watching 21!
"Bidenomics" You've allowed filthy politics infect you. Shame on you. -1 *Don't recommend channel*
Oh no! You can’t recommend my channel because I have a political opinion? What ever shall I do? TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸
The rotten economy has "infected all of us". Shame on you!
@@udx-294tn5 👍👍
@@jimp.7286exactly. It’s not us that are infected by politics, it’s our country that’s become infected by filthy politicians!
@@udx-294tn5 The infection goes all the way to the top!!!!! Cheers!
Why didn't you just use the cable you unplugged from the board to wire into the switch?
The wires on the plug were tied to the wrong pins on the switch to achieve the channels I wanted.
I have a 98 yr model,like new, very few hrs on it, works great,never opened,showes 5.2 watts dk on my meter,love it
That’s awesome. You got a good one for sure 👍🏻
Hello Blackduck UDX-294, by chance would you have an email? I have a lengthy question for you!. UDX-4570 Wavin (Eric)
Yessir! dhyder1994@yahoo.com Reply to this comment when you email me, so I’ll know to check my spam folder in case it don’t go to my inbox. Thanks!
Love the 25s. Have a great weekend. Them 10v caps 1-4.7mfd seam to go first. I just played that game on a radio I’m working on today. I always re-solder the ch selector board ribbon and the LED itself. But when I do that I don’t jump off the solder pad as fast as I usually do. I heat them up a bit, seams to work 9 outs 10 times.
Thanks Mike, hope you have a good weekend too. I appreciate your knowledge, I may go back over all those solder joints a little slower and more thorough. These are awesome little radios!
Hello Wagonmaster! Great to see you!
Give you 30 for it.
Hey would you sell that. Cobra 25.
Probably going to keep it for awhile but if I decide to sell it, you’ll have first dibs. Thanks for watching
Great radios. I love those things. If you take some acetone (nail polish remover) on a Q-tip and remove the Locktite from the pivot screw on the meter you can loosen the screw and the stuck meter will work fine. I"ve done this MANY times and it's worked every time. Love your videos. " Drifter" sw Mo. Bump Bump 73's Lets go Brandon. 😁
Thanks for watching! Yeah I tried tweaking the screw a little and no luck. Definitely hard to beat these vintage cobras!
For $7.50 can't beat that
Yessir! Don’t find deals like that often.
@@udx-294tn5 the cheapest deal I got was my sbe console v paid $14 for it
Dang! That’s awesome. Those are beautiful radios
I still got the Uniden AX144 my parents bought me back in the 80s. The ANL/NB has stopped working and a seized RF meter. The receive and transmit sound quality on the AX144 was excellent. It's still my favourite radio for quality
Yessir those were awesome radios. Nothing made today comes close to the sound and quality of these receivers. Thanks for watching!
