Cobra 200 gt l no tx

Post by tony2803 »

Pick up a nice cobra 200 gtl with no tx. Everything else works fine. I can hear myself on talk back but no tx on normal transmit. Any ideas where to start.

you can go into the tour of the radio and click on the 3rd piture down and on the left to see the driver. it has 16hhf I think it is marked on top of the part you are looking for. I did not look in the service manual but it may have a voltage chart to check the part. most do have that info.

here is a link also from Cobras web site that might help if you do not find what you need on cbtricks. look at the service bulletins also.
