We are working every day to make sure our community is the best Radio Hobbyist's site. They would need his bias circuit to turn on them mozfats. (A watt meter is needed to see the results of course. (VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: The electrolytic capacitor has a NEGATIVE and POSITIVE SIDE to it. Then put volt meter the gate and set your voltage to 2.7 to 3.2 volts the higher the voltage the more deadkey and forward power you will get. I try a 220K since the 230K are hard to find. JMO. by CBSlicer August 5th, 2014, 4:03 pm, Post Also is the radio tuned and aligned properly? right next to the final put a 100uf 16-35v electrolitic with the - side to the back of the radio and on the solider side of the board were the leads from the cap come trough the board add a 68 ohm res and see what the dk is typicaly the lower ohms the higher the dk or vise versa cant recall. 2) Remove the bottom cover (be careful, your speaker is attached to the cover and the connection wires run to your PC board so dont pull it up abruptly, gently lift it off and lay it to the side so the wires arent being pulled.). I have used both the irf520 and the 13n10. The mosfet has a low gate threshold voltage of 4V and hence commonly used with microcontrollers like Arduino for switching high current loads. I've been looking around the internet for some good instructions for doing the IRF520 MOSFET mod on the cobra 25 but have not been able to find anything other than the cbtricks ERF2030 instructions. I dead key at 3.5 watts and swing to 7 watts. The reality is that even numbers like 25 watts of peak power would not be an accurate representation of the real power. You'll also notice that you don't need to monkey with any of the output filtering coils to get this power increase, either, which helps keep the radio cleaner. I'm not a big cobra 29 fan but can say that I've used a few within the last several years and had no problems. anyone looking for a PALOMAR TX5300 BI-LINEAR AMPLIFIER?

Remove R56 and in its place install a 470-ohm resistor in series with a common switching diode (1n914 or similar), with the banded end of the diode towards the front of the radio. Remove the slug from L14. Ok thank you 9C1 i will check it outthanks again. Did you post on this forum as "DualAntennas" " in the last year? Yeah, sounds like the FET isn't doing it's job. Remove R56 and in its place install a 470-ohm resistor in series with a common switching diode (1n914 or similar), with the banded end of the diode towards the front of the radio. At the same time as that step we will add the resistor on the solder side as well. Cobra 29 ltd IRF520 mod Receive upgrade. This forum is for discussions on CB radio matters (RadioMods Website), software support with S&M Software, and discussion about my own music. http://www.worldwidedx.com/cb-band-cb-radios/73873-radio-shack-irf-510-cobra-29-impressions.html, http://cbradiomagazine.com/March 2007/Cobra 29 LTD Super Modulation Modification.htm, http://www.dxstore.com/download/CMX-2300T_Ver2.pdf, http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTk0WDExMDA=/z/XTEAAOxyNmZTkEr6/$_3.JPG. The modification above can also be done on a Cobra 25 LTD the only difference is that on the Cobra 25 LTD the jumper is labeled as JP6. It may not display this or other websites correctly. Gently spread L13 and L12 and tweak the spreads for best PEP when modulated. Then run the other wire to the other terminal and solder it in place. just a thought.. probably not anything to worry about. Welcome to the forum. Post I have a 08 China made 29.
