How do you remove the fans on level 148? - Radio Communications

door interlock or door catch

It is possible that the BIMETTALIC cut off is OFF set and so the cut off happens vry early .
You might need to remove the unit and get access to see if this can be set to higher level- tighter- so that the bimetal takes more heat to cut off. This will provide you a higher heat.
You can calibrate using the highest/lowest settings.

Well if they have a Radio Shack it is the place, Corba 148 is a great radio. hope this helps..

There should have been instructions that came with your reverb board. You are going to need to drill another hole in the case of the radio, or find a control where you can install a dual control knob onto.

Your reverb board is likely going to need 8v, so you will need to locate that off the logic board, likely from the frequency synthesizer. The the audio lines from the mic, or the output of mic amp, are going to be redirected to the reverb, and the output of the reverb feed back to where the wires were removed from.

If I recall correctly, the 148 is a bit of a bear to work with, not much room inside. You will likely have to get creative in placement of the reverb board itself. Make sure to wrap well so that it doesn't get tossed around and break something inside.

a. Remove the cover of the thermostat.
b. Connect the RED wire from the air conditioner
to the “RC” terminal on the thermostat.
c. Connect the “YELLOW” wire from the air conditioner
to the “Y” terminal on the thermostat.
d. Connect the “BLUE” wire from the air conditioner
to the “H” terminal on the thermostat.
e. Connect the “ORANGE” wire from the air conditioner
to the “G” terminal on the thermostat.
f. Push the thermostat wires into hole in wall and
fill excess hole with insulation.
g. Mount thermostat base to the wall with screws
provided.
h. Check all thermostat wires on base to ensure
they are completely clear of the bimetal coil of
the thermostat. Adjust if necessary.
i. Replace thermostat cover.
If nothing operates on the air conditioner, remove the
return air grille assembly and verify the red, orange, yellow
and blue wires are properly connected (red-to-red,
orange-to-orange, etc.).
Next, disconnect the red wires and check for 12 volt
DC between the red wire from roof section and the orange
or blue wire from roof section. If no voltage received,
refer to Section F2. If voltage is received, the
problem lies with the thermostat or thermostat wires.
Next, disconnect all 4 wires (red, orange, yellow and
blue) from the thermostat. With the thermostat set on
COOL mode, FAN mode set on AUTO and HIGH, and
temperature selector set lower than the room temperature. Check for continuity between terminal RC (red wire)
and terminal G (orange wire); and RC (red wire) and
terminal H (blue wire). If continuity is achieved on each,
proceed with the next step.
Set fan switch to LOW. Continuity should NOT be present
between terminal RC and Terminal H, but present between
the other terminals (Y & G) and terminal RC.
If all of the previous checks are good, the thermostat is
good, do not replace it. If any one of the previous checks
are not correct, replace the thermostat.

bad ground .

You most likely have a ventilation problem somewhere in your exhaust line. This can be very dangerous and a fire risk. You need to do a thorough check of your vent pipe and make sure it is clear and the exterior trap door is working freely.

goto you tube and type in cobra 148 gtl dx and look for video by the cobraman in the uk - or type in the cobraman - u can contact him and he is a bit of a genius on this radio - he will even make a video and show u how to fix prblem

Your problem is a faulty changeover relay on the circuit board. It is a small black device , and may have the brand name MRATA
etched on it (the switchover contact points are stuck together)

No audio out / low audio out....This is a constant problem with the COBRA 148 gtl....to get a good level of volume replace the
electro caps ...start around the two speaker wires and work back from there. I'm in the process of rebuilding a 148 gtl and have found caps that are leaky and dried out...after replacing nine the volume went up to a good level...now i need to fix the distortion
and background hash. Did you know that there are many posts
on FIXYA about this same problem I.E. great TX , great PA but poor , or no audio out. these sets have been made in sevetal countries...The sets made in Taiwan or China have poor quality
front panel pots (the carbon track is micro thin and simply wares through to the material the track is printed on) This has the same effect as removing a wire from a pot I.E. no audio. The good news is that 99% of parts in the radio are freely available and that includes the front panel controls. ONE WONDERS IF THE SET IS WORTH THE EFFORT !!!

CHEERS GUYS / GIRLS.
