    Sam, just get a blue sea marine fuze block. It looks like their cheaper than the other ones. There's a West Marine store off of FM20something in Kemah. They should have some in stock.

    2094 is southside of lake, isn't west marine the big giant blue building on nasa 1? IIRC the place on 2094 was named something else but could be wrong. Didn't do much boat part buying when I used to live over there.

    Cobra 19 Plus, 19 DX, 19 Ultra (and other brand/models with same chassis):
    Supertune: Replace the final with a 2SC1969 unit. Solder a jumper across the diode going from the Audio Transformer to the Driver and Final (this may cause receive distortion at high volumes, remove jumper if it does). Solder a jumper across the resistor going from the base of the Final to the Driver. If a diode has been cut for modulation, solder it back together, or replace it. Adjust the modulation control POT (VR) for 100% modulation (usually between 1/4 to 3/4 way open). Tune output coils for best swing, using a loud, steady "aaaaah" sound into the mic. Note: These radios are superb for clarity of modulation, even on the stock mic.

    Note: Some tips mention jumpering a diode with a piece of wire. This does increase the output by a watt or two PEP, but it also causes a risk of extreme receive distortion when receiving high signal levels at high volumes . If you experience this problem, remove the jumper
