... I was emailing folks before I found this board about some modifications and here is what i have gotten back so far. Keep in mind that I adjusted the VR2 back to the way it was, but now that I have received another email I'm wondering If I should try again. Exactly what is this guy helping me do, and what effects will I see If I do try again. The email I sent out to him was:: I found your email in the forums, and have a few questions. I just purchased a Cobra 19 DX III and was wondering if you know of any specific Mods that I could do to make it get out there a little more. His reply: All you have to do on the dxiii is turn up the modulation pot. Open speaker side cover and look for VR 2, this will be a chrome/silver looking adjustable labeled on the board. Adjust it all the way left, key your mike and say "auuudio" while looking at your LED bars on the radio. If the LED bars don't increase as you say audio, turn the vr all the way right. That's it. I emailed him back with this; The ones that were chrome plated were labeled like L10, L11 etc......I'm listening through a friends handheld. Should I be hearing any excruciating feedback, because I'm not? I'm so tempted to turn some of these other things just to see what they do, but I am sure that would be a No-No because I dont want my radio screwed up. It just hard for me to tell which way is good (right or left) since my bars already hit the red when I speak. He replied with this: I can't remember which one it was, but adjust one of the other VRs about 1/4 left or right to see which one adjusts the meter WHILE KEYED UP. When you find it, adjust so while your keyed the meter reads about half. THEN go back to vr2 and you should see the diff adjusting the modulation. I would suggest you NOT adjust anything. You obviously do not have the knowledge or equipment to do this type of work. If you must have it peaked, take it to a pro. Better to pay for a tune-up than to pay for a repair bill. |
