SOURCE: Constant RX mode on cobra microtalk PR3850WX

Sounds like the radio was subjected to electrostatic discharge. If you have your manual, and it describes a way to do a "master reset" on the radio, follow the instructions. This usually involves pushing down on one key while turning the radio on. Otherwise you have to find a licensed dealer for factory service, as there is no way to repair the radio yourself. The use of surface mount technology still confuses many Techs unless they have been to a company's two or three week seminars.

How to get rid of static

Your radio allows you to listen for weak signals on

the current channel at the press of a key.

To turn ON the Monitor Mode:

• For brief listening, press MON button. The RX

icon blinks.

• Press and hold MON button for 2 seconds until

two beeps sound for continuous listening. The

receiver circuit stays open, letting both the noise

and weak signals to be heard.

To turn OFF Monitor Mode:

Press MON button to return to "Normal" mode,
and the RX icon stops blinking and disappears.

One of my Cobra Microtalk radios is stuck on RX. Everything else seems to work. What could be the problem?

Hi!

Almost always, the problem here is that the micro switch for the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button has failed. Your radio should have a warranty, but even if the warranty has run out, it isn't horribly spendy to fix. I'd get in touch with Cobra Electronics, I have heard they're extremely helpful. Try this link and good luck!

Cobra ltd classic no modulation

Assuming that you've tried another mike, the problem may lie in the speech amplifier circuit within the radio, something that will require someone with technical knowledge to repair.

Constant RX mode on Cobra Microtalk Walke Talke

I have the same walkie talkies and on mine I can hold down the mode/lock button and it will come off of the Rx mode. Also, you should be able to press the talk button and it will come off of the Rx mode.

Cobra PR3850WX will not recharge batteries

There is a contact in the upper left hand corner of the batt compartment.This has to touch the metal of the last batt.If your batts have paper around them scrape it off where it contacts that contact point.
