I see somewhere else where you have done this with the EN1230.. dtbradio has an excellent mod posted up for the Cobra 29 which I have done several of with excellent results, unfortunately they don't have JMO. I dead key at 3.5 watts and swing to 7 watts. Remove C53 and solder it across C59. You will see that the board has a lot of small labels on it in white lettering. You are using an out of date browser. I was wondering because I was thinking of using a fixed resistor in place of the pot. Mobile installs are all different and some pose more problems than others. This Will clean up the amc circuit and make it work better. Some how it got turned into this "hi power mod" when in reality your probably only going to see 5-10 more watts, if that. I enjoyed your intro. I use the compimentary part in conjunction with this mod also. I have used both the irf520 and the 13n10. It'll get you a S point on the receiving end. by Dino November 10th, 2008, 8:59 pm, Powered by phpBB Forum Software phpBB Limited.

ALL KITS COME WITH COMPLETE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS $15.00 EACH SELECT RADIO MODEL IRF-520 MOSFET FINAL TRANSISTOR REPLACEMENT FOR 858 PLL UNITS ONLY I saw somewhere else.. ( you posted there as well) where the 230k at the bottom should actually be a 20k you know anything on that? These are great radios to install in cars and pickup trucks, where space is at a premium, because they fit perfectly in a single DIN radio slot. Halfwatt959 " I MAY NOT CAN FIX IT BUT I CAN TAKE IT APART", This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google, Cobra 29LTD Classic and IRF-520 questions, Re: Cobra 29LTD Classic and IRF-520 questions. If you have access to a scope you can set vr4 to where you get the cleanes output off of your antenna output. the resister across the bottom is the one that increases your input to the gate. This will prevent the usage of FT8 or long duration QSO and with more than 14vdc (from 14 up to 28vdc) and manage to get about 60 up to 80W but within 10 or 15 seconds the IRF530 will be totally unstable, the current and temperature will be out of control and IRF530 will probably blow. How well is antenna grounded? 5) Once the jumper is removed you can fit the legs of your electrolytic capacitor into the empty holes. Ok thank you 9C1 i will check it outthanks again. Remove C53 and solder it across C59. See details Next thing you will need to do is to remove the screws for the top and bottom covers on your radio.

Cobra 29 Mosfet Modification, Complete installation, Shows ALL, Save MONEY Do it Yourself! Remember, I didn't come up with this mod, I just documented it here. I also replace C62 with a 390 to 480pf cap. I've been looking around the internet for some good instructions for doing the IRF520 MOSFET mod on the cobra 25 but have not been able to find anything other than the cbtricks ERF2030 instructions. by RadioEndeavor Monday 13th Oct 2008, 14:16, Post Remove the slug from L14. One thing I do is set the bias with a 10k pot or 100k wichever you may have. After tuning is finished, set VR4 to half-way. by speedracer6g Sunday 1st Jun 2008, 0:48, Post I was asked by a few people how to do this mod, so I figured I'd just post it up. I have a 08 China made 29. I said work the throttle, not drive the car. We are working every day to make sure our community is the best Radio Hobbyist's site. The mosfet has a low gate threshold voltage of 4V and hence commonly used with microcontrollers like Arduino for switching high current loads. Tweak L20 and L17 for best PEP when modulated. Yoda gets real pissed if he sees any spit coin in the till. by sonoma August 4th, 2014, 1:26 pm, Post Where exactly was the reading taken?

The management works very hard to make sure the community is running the best software, best designs, and all the other bells and whistles. how about a update did you get what you want out of the radio. I'm referring to the 13N10FQP response curve compared to a IRF520 - the 13's turn on quicker, but IRF520 provides more linearity. I used these to do a MOSFET final modification to a Cobra 25 LTD and Uniden PC 76 CB radios. So the Buffer resistor is for the purpose of keeping your work simple yet effectively offering some method to interface and adjust your upgrade. 3) Now you should be looking at the component side of the PC board. $4.50: Radio Cover Screws (Cabinet Screws) (Bag of 10) $2.50: Size: Fast-acting " x 1-1/4" glass . anyone looking for a PALOMAR TX5300 BI-LINEAR AMPLIFIER? Remove R56 and in its place install a 470-ohm resistor in series with a common switching diode (1n914 or similar), with the banded end of the diode towards the front of the radio. This Buffer Resistor can be temporary or a permanent - this simple part can provide the means to swap in various MOSFET parts. Look on cbtricks main page under mosfet experiment notes.. it's not very clear but it's there on the left hand side of the page. With a cobra 25 I have seen slightly higher wattage. Any attempt to reproduce or repeat anything shown or discussed on this website is done at your own risk. ok..want to do 520 mosfet in a cobra 29 but not sure which instruction to use..(insturctions via internet) any suggestions? Clip those wires and then strip a small section off of each and solder them together. the voltage for the final is the main item that drives it. A modification to my radio that costs $5 and will give my loud modulation? Hopefully I can get this to work. And I agree about clean sounding radio I installed a super talk kit in a 29 yea it was loud on 4 channels it came out as quick as it went in lol thanks again. Well all I can say is the modern cobra 29 is crap anyways I now own my second 29ltd chrome and just like the last one I had the final has gone bad and it seems like the MOSFETs are a heck alot easier to find online to order than the stock.

Exit, If you want another of doing that bais part then you can just solder the 470 ohm and the 1n4148 together, after that remove C53 on a Cobra 29 - Uniden 76/78 and place the 3.3k there instead of soldering all three together. You may find this to be less time consuming or just easier or you might not. Just throwing out another way of doing it. For a Cobra 25 - Uniden 66/68 you can remove C149 and put the 3.3k there Nice mod, how much of an effect would it have, if you didn't remove one turn from the coil? I've been looking around the internet for some good instructions for doing the IRF520 MOSFET mod on the cobra 25 but have not been able to find anything other than the cbtricks ERF2030 instructions. Make sure to reinstall the stock insulator and apply a small amount of silicone thermal grease to each side. Post As mentioned there are different variations of this modification. Some resistors will give you a 1 watt deadkey, some will give you a 2 watt deadkey. Is so, any idea how much? anyone looking for a PALOMAR TX5300 BI-LINEAR AMPLIFIER? I was just trying to help you.

We are working every day to make sure our community is the best Radio Hobbyist's site. Thank you again for the info. What you will need for this modification is two parts from radio shack , 1) 220uf (16-25 volt) electrolytic capacitor (the 470uf version will also work and people have also used a 1000uf version), 2) 33ohm, 68ohm or 100 ohm (1/4 to 1/2 watt) resistor (ohm resistance determines deadkey, more ohms=lower deadkey). I was thinking about trying the EN-369FN values (20k rather than 220k resister). 50W impossible. right next to the final put a 100uf 16-35v electrolitic with the - side to the back of the radio and on the solider side of the board were the leads from the cap come trough the board add a 68 ohm res and see what the dk is typicaly the lower ohms the higher the dk or vise versa cant recall. Remove C126. I tried that one as well as this one.. same results. by CBSlicer August 5th, 2014, 1:32 pm, Post 2 and 3/4 DX RADIO CHAOS.

MOSFET Supertune (29LTD classic and newer): Replace stock final with IRF520 MOSFET transistor (pin-for-pin match when installing). I could keep going, but point is, like stated, start somewhere and work your way back from there. It is very helpful. Going from 20W to 40W is as pointless as going from 4W to 8W, it gets you half to a single S point. by Hawkeye138 Wednesday 28th May 2008, 13:02, Post amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "cbradiotalk-20"; Hey speedracer, do you know the exact resistance for setting the FET's bias?
