Hooking up a cobra 75 CB radio in my 2005 alpha Seeya motorhome

Aquire operation-installation manual from manualslib.com. Mount the antenna on front or side for easy route of coax. Connect red wire to fuse box terminal label ACC or power by ignition. Place power box for best routing of cable to hand unit, under dash, under seat, on left side, etc. Borrow a watt meter to tune SWR of antenna for last step. Happy travels.

I have a cobra frs 110 that wont accept someone talking

It is very likely that you haven't got the same CTCSS or DCS codes matched. Try turning them off on both radios.

COBRA 19 DX II CB RADIOS NO SQUELCH, PA WORKS.VOLUME WORKS

The squelch control is probably damaged. They aren't very sturdy. Controls on radio's these days don't take a lot of abuse. Luckily, the replacement parts can usually be found on EBAY and aren't expensive but you will have to install it yourself or take it to a shop and have it done if you aren't technically inclined. It's not a difficult job to do but a shop will still probably charge more than the radio is worth to do the repair. If you can find a HAM nearby, you might be in luck.

I have a cobra 18 ultra weatherband radio, when I turn it on the meter lights come on, but the channel selector lights don't, is this a costly fix?

It's likely that a bulb has died. This isn't an expensive repair although a radio shop probably won't look at it for at least $75. If you are talking about the display being out, that could be expensive. If the radio is old, then the part probably isn't available anymore. It may be possible to fit something else into the display. I am not familiar with this particular radio. The likely problem is a burnt out series resistor or more likely a bad solder joint on the digital display. THAT should be an easy fix.

How can I make the 19DXIV VHF capable

There is no way to make that radio VHF capable, CB radio's operate in the AM band, and most, if not all VHF radio's operate in the FM band. CB radio's are not capable of VHF frequencies either, VHF is considered around 40MHz and above, CB radio's operate between 26.965 MHz and 27.405MHz that is considered 11 meter band HF. CB radio's are not broadbanded enough to cover anything that far away, expecially the newer radio's, as most of them are controlled via a microcontroller and PLL tuning circuit. the 19DXIV is a great little radio, but will never be able to operate in or even around VHF. sorry.

What is the best way to run cb coax in a 2006 peterbilt 379

don't they come with coax and antennas already installed? If you can run the coax out the window to the mirror bracket then up and over the visorsthat would be good.the only thing is if it has a fiberglass door,no ground plane. you will have to then ground the antennas to the chassis and maybe even use a grounding strap.

My Squelch on my Cobra

It means either the knob or something in the squelch circuit has gone bad. Doesn't mean that you cannot use the radio, you will just hear static all the time when no one is talking. If the static bothers you, you can always back the RF gain down a bit. That will quiet the noise, but lower you receive range. meaning you won't hear as far away.

To find my device id on my cobra 8 channel

That's a confusing question. Device id is the FCC device ID number and means it has been approved to transmit in the USA. It has nothing to do with model. So, in terms of a radio device, it means nothing to a tech or a way to get parts or even a battery. The device ID is typically located on the back of a radio or under the battery. Could you ask what you are looking for?

I have cobra walkie talkies Li4900. Batteries measure 8.36 and 8.46 volts and getting 20v on the charger . Charger lights stay on for well over 10hrs-

Hi Anonymous, as you say, your batteries have little or almost no charge capacity
That's why the charger lights remain on
Simply replace the batteries.
I hope you can solve the problem
Greetings Franco Dosil

Hola Anonimo, por lo que comentas, tus baterias tienen poca o casi nula, capacidad de carga

Simplemente, reemplaza las pilas
Espero puedas resolver el problema

I have a new cobra 29 nw ltd classic it wont allow me to use a power mic because it feeds back with the talk back. how do i eliminate the talk back

the issue is that this radio has an audio boost control function, Dynamike. That is likely the issue, the two are working against each other. You can see if the power mic you have will work if you dial the Dynamike all the way down, but you might have to live with the stock mike.

No good receive on cobra 142 gtl base

What is the swr? This can impact the receiver. However, the tuning coils for receive and transmit are close to each other and someone most likely turned the receive coil instead of the transmit coil. The coils that are adjustable that affect receive are 13, 15 and 3. 3 is the coil that is close to the transmit section. You may want to have it realigned.

Cobra 29 nw ltd classic key up with out a mic what is the problem what component is bad

If it "keys up" without a mic plugged in, try plugging the mic into the radio and see if it stops. Some radios require the mic to be plugged into it to operate properly. If it is keyed up with the mic plugged into it, try unplugging the mic and see if it stops. If it does stop when you unplug the mic, either the switch in the mic is stuck/went bad or there is a wire shorted in the mic cord to radio plug. Make sure pins 3 and 4 on the mic plug are not shorted. A continuity meter will tell you. If the mic is keyed, pins 3 and 4 will show a short, if the mic is not keyed, pins 3 and 4 should not show a short. If the mic is functioning normally but the radio is still keyed up then there is something in the radio that is shorted.
