Hi, I recently got an old Taiwan/Uniden made Cobra 140gtl. It works fine untill it's been on awhile, esp. in TX mode. Then it will just start TXing a lot of scratchy noise, AM or SSB, esp noted on SSB, and very occasionally, possibly a separate problem, it gets sharp loud crack noises on RX. No mods except possibly a little power. Volume/switch was changed and I found a power wire corroding and volume wires not soldered or well connected. Any ideas? Also, RX continues to work throughout these problems. Thanks, and nice forums, lesadek |

No, I don't have another like it. I could try cleaning the switch or replacing. Thanks |
