How do i turn peak and tune my cobra 19 ultra 3 myself no cb shop close by

the only thing you can do is turn up the mod vari and thats it.

If you don't have the proper equipment to do the job right then don't do it.

L 5 , L 6 , L 801 for power and RV2 for modulation.

tune up, swing mod, talkback, any thing that can be done to a cobra 25 ltd can be done to any 40ch cb.. just add a power mic$17.99 or a good echo mic will make a huge difference.

turn VR2 all the way to the side that makes your modulation full.

A lot of people will say that you need to peak and tune the radio to get more range. And it will, but what it really comes down to is your antenna system.

Even with the best peak and tune, if you don't have a good antenna system, it won't do you any good.

You need to make sure the antenna is a good match. If you don't know what that means, then you should refer to your manual on SWR. The antenna has to be tuned so that transmit power does not get reflected back into the radio. If that is happening, all of the RF power is not leaving the antenna, and you are not getting out as good as you can.

Once you have a good antenna system, then you can worry about peak and tuning. But for a peak and tune, I charge.

you can't tune the radio. You must tune the antenna. I have a generic thread which explains everything you need to know about tuning your antenna.
See here. Hope this helps you.

i got a couple of them and i have them talking really good for what they are. if you go inside you can turn up the pods also you can take a small screwdriver and spread those coils inside near the back of cb!

turn the mic gain all the way up. Make sure the antenna has been tuned for best SWR.

Take your radio to a CB shop and have them peak and tune it.

Take your radio to a CB Shop and have them 'tune it up' or 'peak' it. It is usually a modest fee and will improve the transmit range of the radio. There are usually shops near truck stops, just ask around on channel 19 in the area if there is a shop nearby.

Some radios do better than others, there may not be a great improvement on your particular radio.
