    Get rid of the mosfet finals and go back to the 1969! What modes does the modulation fail? Could very well be the AM power driver. Unless the radio is tuned improperly or a bad antenna the output stages of the Cobras are very long lasting.

Where to i find the dead key pod on a Cobra 2000 Gtl cb Radio

Most likely, you have no 'voice' signal coming from the microphone. The MODulation control did not turn itself.
Check for signal from the shielded or white wire from the mike.
A capacitor could have shorted in the modulation limiter circuit, limiting the modulation to 0%.

I have an cobra 148 gtl no transmit

If theres no carrier its either the finals or driver. If theres no audio its the white wire in the plug that screws into the radio..its either broke or most likely come unsoldered. It keys but no audio.

Rf out ok no modulation but mike ok

Hook up a speaker to the PA jack on the back of the radio. Put the CB into PA mode and see if any audio is coming out of PA jack. This will tell you if the AUDIO AMP IC TA7222 is good.

COBRA 21 GTL NO MODULATION NO RX. BUT IT WILL TX AT 3 WHATTS.I HAVE TRIED 3 DIFFERENT.MIC ON THIS RADIO CAN YOU HELP ME

That's usually a defective amc stage that produces RX audio and TX modulation. It's an integrated circuit that will require a tech fixing it. You will have a transmitted carrier with no modulation, and no sound in your speaker. However, make sure you have a good mike plugged in first, and substitute a known good mike to verify it's not the mike.

142 GTL Good AM Carrier Weak Modulation????

you may have to scope the finals circuit on the modulation to see if all the "inline" caps are installed correctly... be sure your pc board is grounded in all areas as required by specs in your manual. Make sure there is no bleedover and you are sheilding your crystals from the modulation platform. al
