Is there a magic key to Cobra's parts numbers on this radio? I'm looking
at I "believe" D12 (not looking at notes so I may be off one number) -
but it is the RF detect / SWR Calibrate diode I'm interested in. It
appears to be a 1N60 in the radio. I have two faults to correct in this
beast - the SWR isn't calibrating NOR measuring forward power. The other
is a missing sengment on the lower part of the ones digit. I am hoping it
is a bad solder joint or something stupid. The person doesn't want it
replaced (to save money) - but I hate seeing things go out half assed.
I'm working on getting the diode straightened out first. That will be job
#2 of 3 done.


I "probably" could look the damned number up in other literature I have,
but it is all buried at the moment. Have no chance of getting to it any
time soon. So, I DO appreciate any help in the mean time.


You can get a schematic and parts list, depending on what model you are
working on, at www.cbtricks.com . The display is probably shot if the unit
is old and well used. Some are interchangeable depending upon the model. You
could rob one from a parts unit if you have one.
