So my friend from work gave me his older Cobra 29 LTD (The one with the mic plug coming out the side instead of front) for use in my Jeep and I was super excited to try out this new piece of kit but there is a big problem. Once all hooked up the radio does not receive anything, no static, nothing. When I key the mic, the SWR meter doesn't move at all and the TX/RX light along with the channel display goes completely black. I also cannot hear anything coming out of my PA speaker when switched to PA. I opened the radio and took a look inside (pictures below) and saw what looked to be modifications to the main board but I am not sure if it was just built that way. Has anyone else had this problem?
Any input is greatly appreciated!
