Cobra is Coming Back Baby

The new Cobra 19DX IV EU hits the market in September, its a multi-norm for the EU market and has the normal UK/CEPT, German, Italian and other channels inside.

Like the original AM version from the USA with new guts inside. Also has AM in the right configuration.



Yes it does have mods, and around 70euro when hits the market. Made in China and seems to have some small look from either Intek or Maxon here and there, it is NOT Maxon am lead to believe but inside there are some hints that this version is not ALL Cobra ideas that is for sure.... Intek factory me think

I like it nice looking radio .Have you used it simon?.
I have used the 148 GTL & the 2000GTL fine radios .
Good dx 73s

Tony 29ci102 & EI7GUB

yes same hear realy nice compact radio

Not at the moment Tony and Paul, it arrives inside the EU in two weeks and mine will come soon after and will let you know what and if its anygood plus will be also on my youtube

hi simon look forward to that

Looks simple and robust, like a radio good for mobile use should be - I like the look of the Maxon CM10 for the same reason.

What's worse than a load of buttons, knobs and switches when you're going along the road? - thinking about it, I know - a load of beeps associated with every control! (like my Harry II).

Cheers

Metal cased where the USA version is plastic cased, there are not any processor noises and it does work really well indeed. All that is needed are two small things:

a) another mike, the original is not the best
b) allignment of the s-meter, thats it

just watched that

I watched it too. Looks OK. Rather use SSB though!

There is an SSB radio coming along, so am told but maybe same quality as the 200 so not worth the wait

Hi Simon,

It's a shame that, in an age of cheap to produce and reliable electronics, they can't get the quality right.

I've been enjoying your videos on youtube.
Just got back into 11 metres after a 25 year break. I still have my Cybernet York JCB863 and my President AR-7 up in the loft. No need for them as I have a Lincoln!

Thanks for the message, think i heard you the other day if am honest. Quality does not matter when cheapness and profit is king sadly these days
