Anyone know how to strap it ( mod to boost output) ?

Hook Charlie Hugg's amp to it.

Any boost from the radio will only be noticed on YOUR meter.
The person on the other end will wonder why you sound like sh!t...

Hahahahaha!

Why is that funny?


I'm wondering why you figure it will sound like sh*t for one.

That's been answered already, you'll only increase your splatter
with those snip jobs. Leave it alone.

He's right, cutting limiters only increase splatter.
You are better off getting a good antenna, proper
grounding and if needed a small good amp.

Hmm, I think we're not quite on the same trail. All I need is about 10 watts
to kick the amp properly. I don't like the idea of cutting the limiter
myself, however, I'm betting a small change to get 8 or 10 watts out of it
would not cause splatter. Maybe I'll just swap out the finals in the thing
and see if the rig can drive 'em.
I do understand what you were saying about splatter and I hate hearing that
on air too. Thanks, Steveo.

if you hook up an oscilloscope and do a before and after test you will see
with your own eyes that clipping the limiter will cause splattery modulation

No, had no intention of clipping the limiter. There are other ways.
Thanks for the link. Got a homebrew amp but it takes 10 to 50 watts to kick
it. If I can't do it, thats fine, I'll just use the ol Cobra as is.

Sounds like you're in the gray area for drive, Sarge. That's a tuff
one without making splatter. Is this poratble or base operated?

Merry Christmas.
