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 -- visit http://www.geocities.com/linearschematics/ "Steveo" wrote in message ...

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. |

More in equals more out. Can drive it with up to 55 watts |
