    I have a Cobra 41 plus sitting in my basement. I have just upgraded and until I get a few checks in the bank this will be my radio (if it is still working).

    the power cord has RED and ORANGE fused wires. Also a black unfused.

    I am assuming the:
    red is 12v power
    orange is linked to dash lighting?
    black is ground.

    Is this correct? is there anything else I need to know? I will be using the stock antenna on my KLLM cascadia. That is all I know. I have not been in the truck yet.

    thanks,
    Mikeeee
