My Radio and Graham has done a stunning job on her!

lovely work!

📶Very nice jod ! Très beau travail de restauration. Félicitations. Le Concorde reste un TRX de référence avec une bonne sensibilité malgré une sélectivité moyenne. Il est devenu rare , et vous devez faire des envieux avec votre vidéo 🤩 Merci and Best regards F4LPH

I wonder if the manufacturers of these radios knew that they are still being used 40 odd years later after being made?.

A blast down memory lane...nice 😀😀😀

That was an awesome video and I love the way you have showed things going wrong, because it lets viewers know even the experts have problems from time to time. Cant wait for the next one.

The 1k resistor and diode on the bleep board was probably a power feed for a K40 microphone.

Great video thanks, gave me some guidance on cleaning the channel change wafers which I need to do. What about setting the carrier balance pots?😂

Nice job and you got a new subscriber! I really like the way you work!

This was my last radio with 6 blocks of 40. To be honest, this and the Rotel RVC 240 were the best radios I've ever owned.

graham u have the patients of a saint, great job on the concorde mate .

Maybe 3 different colors of nail polish Graham to mark the wafers next time ,😂

Love watching your repairs and mods. Takes me back... 👍

Always thought them concords good looking sets

👍

Mine is measuring 2 MHz too low. Any idea if I can adjust that?

All this "I've got a plan for that" shite is annoying 🙄..this is all bullshit..

STOP putting background music on videos with NARRATION! .it ONLY makes it HARDER to hear you ..AND it's annoying 🤬

You don't fancy working on my bv131😢

K beep sounds real sweet 😎

Number 2 nice and inoffensive, concord/ multi mode sound

Nice Ports 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

High gain 5 is the best in my opinion

5 tone should be a criminal offense 😂😂😂 👍😁

Bleep me!, that's a nice collection of bleep boards there!. I will have to see how much money i got left after i get paid and put an order in!! 😁👍

I have no idea what DDS is... Is it something to do with digital electronics? I ask because when I saw the Cobra 148 GTL for the first time it is Am and SSB and my first imoression that that is analogue technology. I am not sure, even though I followed some courses at college on digital electronics, the course is called Logic 1, my thought is that I should get a better understanding of analogue before diving deep into the digital modes. Nevertheless, thank you for making this video available! it is always a pleasing to see the Cobra 148 GTL mobile CB radio!!! Thank you MicroChipz! 😀😀😀🐵🦍🍀🌍🚎🚑🚂🕒👓®🏁👍

I see a 3.5mm audio out jack above the HDMI ports. Is it active, or do you need to purchase a DAC and install to activate audio?

looks class, great work

You do very nice work.... but an SI5351 is not a DDS it's PLL based. A DDS uses a DAC to create the final waveform.

Awesome work and tanks for sharing..

Hi very impressed with your work it has a quality look and very nice. I have modified a couple of radios with DDS from bits of work of mine and boards from others. I have an realistic base station and president Franklin to do as well as well as lafytte 1200 which is a special for me and the wife as it was the first brand new ssb radio we bought could not really afford it but streched anyway. So want to get that right. Cb got into radio again. I became a ham a year or so later. Which is a story in it's self. I think I will be getting some parts from you as your solution is much much better than parts from this or that. But i am in Spain at the moment but am returning to the UK early next year due to health reasons and to be near the family as we get older. So won't be till summer next year for i can get a little workbench together. Thanks again for your time and work, i know it takes a lot of time for you to produce this video. In my former life i used to write the odd instructions manuals and guides.

Very interesting,i was thinking dual output for xtal controlled Am cb walkie talkies to replace the xtals,455khz offset. Whats the phase noise like ? Considered repeater tx offset shift +/-100khz ? Ctcss encoder/decoder? Very impressed by your work. Rob P RPC Systems

Great work very educational.

Love it

Sweet

Brilliant, looks really good mate 👍

Nice work , I still take my old cybernet Nato 2k out to play now & again

Do you do a kit of parts to convert a president Jackson so it will cover the 10m band? If so please get in touch with me.

Really enjoyed your video as' I do all of them thank you .

My Westland came from one of the containers lol

That's a awesome board and conversion fair play, I'm a bit surprised after those sinad meters you made you didn't build a modulation/deviation meter too.

Nice I have one here. How can I convert it to 10m band?

Where did you get the replacement meter lamp from ?

Very Interested in doing this conversation. Where can I get the parts and PCB?

4:20 The black screw that secures the NVME drive is inserted into a brass nut that can be loosened with a pair of needle nose pliers. It took me longer than I would like to admit to figure out how to move the mounting screw.

47:20 Has the new facia got some white specks on it or is it just bits of dust? 🤔 Just above the RB switch, for example.

Nice work/conversion but I would have filled those holes on the fascia before sticking the decal on as they are showing through at the end.

Just great, an epic vid, thanks G!

fantastic job well done. how much does it cost to have this done to a 148 or 360fm?

ah great memories ! used to mod these when i was a kid ,learning electronics ,i was already successfully repairing tvs, videos and arcade machines but didnt really know what i was doing for along time with these ,i always had issues with loss of vco lock when band expanded , took me ages to realise i needed to fit varicap diode across vco coil and ladder step the bias with decreasing band after a retune and i was programming eproms with a home made setup of a channel switch a 555 timer (prog pulse) and toggle switches! one mistake and wipe n start over! needless to say i didnt have a spectrum analiser back then!
