Slamming needle

Hello to all.
Today my Cobra 25 LTD Classic started when I key up the needle slams to the right.
I have the swing mod in it and a variable using the rf gain knob.
Even when I have it set to 2 watts it still slams.
Any ideas?
Thanks
GOD BLESS

Cobra 29 help

Hello.
When I key up my 29 the lights go out till I unkey.
Also the channel selector stays on 19.
I can hear the channel clicking when turning the knob and I can see the shaft turning in the back.
Thanks

Setting dk

Hi to all.
Maybe a stupid question but here goes.
When setting a radios dk should the amp be on or off ?
I have read in some forums saying set the dk on the amp to 100 watts.
Thanks

no talkback

I have an older 3300 (not HP) with echo.
The echo has to be on for the talkback to work.
Hope this helps
