Normal AA batteries are 1.5 Volts each. The battery compartment on the HH35 holds 10 Batteries. If regular batteries are used they must be configured to a 12 Volt output. Thus the Dummy (Blank) is used to Make 8 X 1.5V=12 Volts.

If you use NiMH or Nicd which are rated at 1.2 Volts 10 X 1.2 =12 Volts.

A dummy battery is just a piece of metal that the battery power can travel through - just use any round metal (not alumnium) that is the same size as a AA battery - copper wound be best

I don´t know what they mean with "dummy batteries" what shape has the radio in the battery compartment? does any AA battery match directly? How many AA batteries can be installed?

I think they use a Case when you are using AA batteries and the Rechargable battery is a pack that has diferent shape that any number of AA bateries.

Cobra 142 very low rf output

Check your antenna, cable and all connectors. It is common for power to fluctuate if you have any short anywhere in the radio to antenna system. Do not test your radio without an antenna attached or what is called a "dummy load", you may fry your transmitter. Do not trust cheap cables that are pre assembled, I've had many bad out of the box.

How do i charge my cobra hand held radio

According to Cobra's website, if you are charging the batteries (or battery pack) that came with the radio, charging should take about 15-hours.

If your model came with the desktop charging stand, they state that it is safe to leave them in the stand without fear of over-charging. If your model uses a power cord that you plug into the radio, then they state that you should not leave it connected to the charger for more than 24-hours.

If you follow the link below, it will take you to the Cobra website, where you should be able to download a copy of the manual for your radio. Find your model in the list, then select the "Details" button for that model. A new page will open then select the "Product Specifications" tab, and you will find a link to download the manual.

Hope that helps you out.

I am look for a Antenna for a cobra model no is HH35

Any "Rubber ducky" antenna for a CB radio will work. It has to be one that is designed and tuned for the 27 mhz CB band.

Here is one.


You can also just google the phrase "cb bnc rubber ducky" and it will bring up lots of options.
