Mrblack

1- Adjust VR-5 or cut D-9 to open up the modulation.

2- For A/M power, tune L-13, L-10, L-9 and L-8 for maximum RF power.

3- Don't get your hopes up or expect wonders because this is one of Cobras' bare-bone radios.

Jeff, kc0gxz.

Mrblack

You asked for the Cobra 21-LTD and those are the power and modulation modifications for it.

There are other Cobra 21s also.
1-Cobra 21
2-Cobra 21-A
3-Cobra 21-GTL
4-Cobra 21-LTD
5-Cobra 21-LTD Classic
6-Cobra 21-Plus
7-Cobra 21-X
8-Cobra 21-XLR

If you have the 21-LTD "Classic", then the mods are a bit different than the standard LTD model.

For the 21-LTD Classic, adjust VR-4 or cut D-7 to open up the modulation.

2- For A/M power, tune L-7 and L-9. That's it.

Jeff, kc0gxz.

Mrblack,

If none of the above that Jeff has listed work, LOOK to see if your radio has: Q11 and 116 & 118

If it does it will be the same as the: Cobra 21 LTD WX

For the Cobra 21 LTD WX:

MODULATION: ADJUST ~ Q11
AM POWER: ADJUST ~ 116 & 118

Hope this can be some help as I cannot find anything for the 21 LTD ST (Sound Tracker)
