Cobra 29 weak rec or low volume?

#390234

Post by electrotech »

I have a cobra 29 that has an issue... I have no clue if my S meter is anywhere where it needs to be or not.. With that said, I dont know if I have weak recieve or low Volume. I have to max my volume knob out in order to hear my recieve where other 29's are close to half way. Its on frequency, I've changed the vol\squ pot, I've changed TR7 rf amp, I've checked C8. Any help would be appreciated.
