Don't be fooled by this absolute garbage kit.
It will do absolutely nothing for your radio but screw up your receive adding white noise and does not make your noise blanker work better- the opposite. They swap out one transistor and move it in the receive section and then replace the original with a high gain transistor. And change out NB and receive detection diodes with Shockty type. First off this radio was not designed with these type diodes they are not a improvement and don't jive with the rest of the circuit design. 2nd the high gain transistor does not reduce noise. Transistors are not causing noise in your receiver anyway. This is complete bull. It will screw up the accuracy of your S meter even after re-calibrating it. The Cobra 2000 has a beautiful receiver design. And one of the best NB of any radio. This Kit will add nothing to it. I removed this junk form one of my 2000's and what a difference with the stock components. Hope this helps someone.
