    Thanks for this video. I bought a cobra 29 ltd classic on Ebay it has all these mods but they were not advertised on the ebay listing. I did not know what the Ch9 / Normal was until I just watched this. I have heard that sound while talking to others and did not know what it was on their radio.

    Very cool video. I had all of the same questions about it also and you covered it. I need to see if I can talk my builder into installing one on my 148f hybrid that was one of his babies 😂 I like that good transmit Americana sound also. On a good skip day, it sounds like what a bunch of UFO’s landing on my roof would sound like through my 6k receive and cabinet 15 speaker. The house vibrates when the starships land 🤣

    It's an added electrolytic capacitor and a resistor across the vfo chip. About .2 to .2 and half cents worth of parts. I love it though.

      @@minibikemadman to be fair he probably won't just do a wind-up because he and I have spoken and he just doesn't feel right charging someone to only do a wind-up. There are many techs out there that charge what I consider steep prices for what's a relatively easy mod. If a radio is sent in to be tuned, the wind-up is added free of charge, but he generally doesn't just do the wind-up alone.

    You are gonna have people playing with their clarifier while keying up. For the new Jack's it's good cuz if they got one hand on the ptt and the other hand on their clarifier then they won't be able to play with themselves while on the radio. Gonna save themselves from buying glasses. Hahaha.
