I had Cobra 139 XLR from 1993 to 2005 had open Clarifier plus open up Frequencies to 26.070 to 28.500 and side car on to tune Frequency in with 2 dail knobs , Frequency switch 3 positions 26 bottom , middle was 27 also top was 28 and 5 kc drop to ! Plus bit of Frequency Counter 27.(255) had plus watts put out was 6 watts am and 25 sideband ! Clarifier was open 5 kc up and down !
remove R8 (o ohm jumper resistor) from the vs3 board that supplies audio from the voice snyth chip to the following audio amp on the vs3 board or just unplug the vs3 board
As Doc would say in Back to the future 3 - "“Unbelievable that this little piece of junk could be such a big problem" while holding it up to a magnifying glass. haha Great work Marc!
I really enjoyed this and am glad it showed up on my feed, thanks bro. I'd like to build one of these at some point but I'd like to understand more about the diode's purpose and what kind of output I can expect, like do I need some of those old crystal radio headphones? Also what the purpose of the resistor is. I see you hooked it to an amp but I'd like to try it without powering anything up.
Thanks for the video, I've thought about buliding one for a while now with an arm more like a phonograph, bend wire down and make a point and use a wood or plastic handle above the bend to set it on the coil to try and isolate 1 winding at a time. Hm, think I have everything needed in the shed. *wanders off*
Hi brings back memories of 60 years ago for me when I built many different types of crystal set, you may find you will get better results with a variable cap tuning the coil and a few different taps on the coil for the antenna connection good luck with it and happy listening
@@marcouellet1420 Oh, i guess i was overthinking it lil, i was thinking custom baffle plates or welding lol did you do anything to address the mk25s shorter driveshaft or did you feel that the lower contact area with the mk28 crank was still enough?
I have the same kind but it's silver with the manual booklet with it. It's in VG condition. Needed new batteries at first, got mine second hand. 📻 I have the original Velcro cover that goes over the belt, its black.
I've got 2 of the 2980 wx radios 1st and second generation radios. Both have developed small issues but still work well enough to get out and I use it on 10 meter as well. I will telly this I love the green freq display over the red which mine have. All in all I really do use them as my goto radio among others have too. Coll to seen your model. Thx for the video.

Sounds great! I'll give you $40 for it!
$45
@RisingTidesAC $45.99.

I'm in the UK and remember the early 80s when radios became legal over here and were all the rage...for a couple of years.
And not to mention it has the highly coveted uniden D858!! Just Google it......a switch and some solder will get you extra channels very easily!!😢
Un gros merci pour cette belle vidéo. Je vais m'acheter le radiateur de De'Longhi car il est silencieux et semble être de bonne qualité.
It's for blind !!!

That is a cold walk around, I feel sorry for the batteries in your camera. ✋73's🎙KD9OAM🎧
it was cold but we are having fun anyways
Thank you for sharing,stay warm out there Good Dxing 73s, soldier boy 101 I'm standing by.
Anything for you and it is cold 73s 108
Mine doesn't do that

What’s it look like inside and do you have a link for that box
I still have one in prestine shape. Great radio.

Video looked and sounded great! Great little radio! Signal coming in loud and clear. Solid find! 🎉
Please stop making noises with your saliva. It's disgusting.
Looks Nice by the way what diode did you used for this :) i mean diode number :) :)
Amazon Item Model Number CA-HB-Diode 1N34A Do7 10pcs
I have always used diodes from old busted radios. I know they work , test first, of course.
@@chuckmaddison2924 need to scavange my room then lol
@@marcouellet1420 Gotcha
@ThatSecGuy The local dump and bulk collections are great . I even picked up a 1950 record player from the kerb.
Wow I had never heard of this!
This thing is so much fun

Did it ever fly?
How did you seal the hole that the mark25 leg leaves in the exhaust where it meets the block?
i used j b weld

@@airgunny7416 no problem
Been trying to find a way to do just this. Thank you.
I am glad you like it
What did your CG turn out to be?
Pretty cool !
Will give delonghi a miss if that happens first time I’ve heard of this
keep an eye on the windows where the leds shine through. Don't be surprised if you find water in it. I did.
Bought one of these 3 months ago, does a great job.
How do I set timer ??
Just hit the time off and they'll automatically come back on the next day at the time you pressed the button.
No idea on any more info, but I have the same radio.
Ignorant. Poor review.
What a gourgous looking flying machine !!! Love that color too !!!😉🙃😎 NZ
I have the ts 570d Great radio
Lol that’s my grandpa. He told me to look up this video, as I’m here visiting. Greetings from MO!! ✨
Please tell your grandfather it was so much fun to talk with him. 73S Marc 108 Ontario Canada
I will! 🙏🏼
At some times might have 6 eagles going. And the rest of us that don't have one. Ebo498 WR498 SDI498
108 welcome to S.E. Missouri my buddies here in the Ozarks
Just traded for a Mark 3 golden eagle this past weekend. Got it going and loving it!
Tengo una de ese modelo. Es una joya para los coleccionista. Gracias
mine came with the whip sticking out of the box bent at about a 60 degree angle.
Looks good!
.Hey Marc nice piece of Gear man, soldier boy (101) checking in.

Why is the shift handle tied off to the transom clamp bolt ? Doesn't it stay in neutral ?

Nice radio, I have a couple of Ranger/ Galay units. I hit the thumbs up and other buttons, and am following. 21 Old Radio Night.
ik heb er ook 1 gekocht de SWR is heel laag dus heel goed
Marc nice radio
