I just picked up this radio,it is in real great condition what I would like to know is what resistor do you change to get loud audio? and what is the part # for the limiter? Are there any other mods for this radio? I want to ask this first before I take the cover off because the radio is in such good shape. someone must know the answer, these radios were great in there day thanks for any help

Just got one of these. Digital Madison base radios. I got as B-Day gift from the Wife. We got this off a re-tired gentleman whom had put it up some six years ago. Got @ a great price! To Make long story short mic batt/was left in D-104 and there is some corrosion. Can't make clock come on when plugged in or lights in meter's to work? Could this be the lights are out? Has a variable power mod done to it and echo that I plan on putting on on/off switch. Was thinking of talking it to local CB tech, However would like to have some idea of what's wrong before going in shop as I have had problems w/Prices and quality of work w/this person.(Unfortunatly only shop in area) I'am also looking for a Ext. speaker to match this radio if anyone can reccomend a place... Thanks...Is this just as good as a Cobra 2000? or close? E-Mail or post a mess...E-Mail @ mroct2527@aol.com
