    Hi,
    It helps if you read the postings before you reply. Otherwise someone might not take your information as being credible in the future. "?"
    Thanks for the laugh anyways.
    35 watts!? Anybody know what to turn up to get 35 watts out of a Cobra 29 LTD Classic? Let me know. In reward, I'll ask your rich uncle to send you two tickets to any place in the world, of your choosing.
    Thanks for the replies.
    Jimbo

    I never seen a stock Cobra that was peaked do 35 watts.......maybe 20 at best.
    Now my Galaxy will do 135 PEP on the Bird meter. But it has 4 finals.

    Since my original post in 2011.
    I've set up a bench and taken up tinkering with cb and 10 meter radios.
    Replacing shorted parts.
    Upgrading parts to lower the static caused by the manufacturer's lower quality parts.
    Repairing burnt traces in the main circuit board...
    I've worked on 43 radios total. So I'm just getting warmed up.
    I have not been able to turn any of these radios up past 18 - 22 watts as a stock radio.
    On average, closer to 18 watts.
    Any wattage above 18 - 22 watts, I have had to upgrade the finals.
    I use a Galaxy DX 949.

    It generated from your #6 post. That shop got confused with the shop you had the work done at originally.
