    Cobra 29 wx nw st/ RFX75

    sponsored links
    hey guys new to the forum, wondering if someone can help
    i have installed the RFX75 and it was fairly easy even with my experience, well i finished and checked it with my meter and it seems as it did nothing, i can still talk and everything is like normal, but the funny part is where i think its working this happened twice when i whistle or check the peak it has blown the power fuse going into my radio, but i was wondering if i did something wrong or if it has happened to you i followed the instructions on cbtricks.com which has worked for a lot of people.
    thanks for your time
    Nate

    Change the fuse to 10 amp. This is on the inline fuse.

    Update

    well gave it a try and it worked but i am only pulling about 20 watts which should be around 100 or more i believe , but i tried talking to my buddy 1/2 mile away and my cb has really bad feedback and squeals if i try to talk, im just really confused b/c this was so easy to install and watching you cb_repairman on youtube it was just as easy im having serious problems and i have no idea why but i dont think i can turn back to stock. what a headache this is causing!!!

    Did you put the Jumper on the ground from the Audio Transformer?
    Make sure you cut the Blue Cap out of the RFX unit too.
