COBRA 19GTL US AM CB RADIO DEAD ON ARRIVAL AND HOW DIFFERENT IS 2M COMPARED TO CB?

On this video we take a look at a lovely but dead US CB radio and we show you the difference between CB and 2M FM between myself and Mick.

I remember using a few of these for spares myself years ago,how things have changed.

[@GateKommand]

Thanks for another interesting vid mate and the switch to 2 meters at the end!

Great stuff always enjoy your content, always learn something new and love the vintage items whatever they may be

[@SignalSmoker]

at the 2:18 marker you refer to a "duffer." i am assuming you mean the audio i.c? it is a perfect word for it. thank you for sharing your knowledge with us through these videos

[@knoxieman]

Many thanks yes Duffer IE a bad one 👍

[@Mike-H_UK]

[@mikeyf103]

[@strothermartin5368]

I have The Cobra 19x from the 80's. Still works great!

[@peterarmitage5357]

Good video and you have brought it back to life, Good result, I have one the same, great little rigs, when working!!... on the right of the pll chip there is a small electrolytic capacitor, can you tell me the value of it.... thanks for your help 👍

Another great video Paul. I have one of those sets in bits here. I love my 2m but more into 2m ssb. All the best Mark 2w0jmk

Another classic saved, yes 2 meters is very good, but there is not much activity on there, I still hear more breakers on the 27/81 in my 20. 😉

[@spexmaniacuk]

Do you do repairs? I have a Alinco dx70 that is ailing.

[@zukispur5493]

Knoxi mate. I've got a Belcom LS-102 that could use a man like you. I enjoy your work man. 73 London

[@lesjones5684]

Mate 😂😂😂

[@mariorossi8800]

but where do you find these little vintage jewels ??

[@knoxieman]

This one was sent to me for repair by a viewer

[@2steppa3]

Any idea how to cure the meter on AM transmit moving backwards with my voice instead of forward? Or does it not matter....? I see it on a lot of radios...

[@knoxieman]

If the meter is moving backwards it sometimes means the mod is too high and it's being clipped by the diodes in the set.

[@TonyLing]

It's been soundly knuckledraggered

[@FransTheGamer23]

[@lesjones5684]

[@Radionut]

Quite possibly the worst CB radio ever made. In my opinion
