Other Modifciations
Expanding the MB8719
Models include:- Uniden Grant/Madison, Cobra 148/2000 GTL etc.
Note: Some newer Uniden's now have RCI 18719 "clone" PLL. You will have to replace the PLL with the old MB 8719 BEFORE attempting these mods.
To get coverage from 27.455 - 28.045, find the MB 8719 PLL, then locate pins 10, 11 and 12.Cut the track going to these pins. Locate a ground (chassis or track). Using a DPDT Center off switch, Connect the switch to pin 10,11,12 (IC side of the cut) on the MB 8719 PLL. This mod will give you the normal "FCC" channels in the center position. In the down position 27.605 - 28.045, In the up position 27.455 - 27.605 ( on channels 2 - 14 ).
Expanding the Cobra 148GTL-DX/Superstar 360 Fm (PB010)
Clip off the YELLOW, WHITE, & PINK wires from the channel 9 panel switch. Reconnect WHITE & PINK together for normal LED channel display. Cut off the GRAY wire from the HI/LO TONE panel switch. Remove the grounding jumper at pin 9 of the MC 145 106 PLL chop. Connect a small bare wire between the center terminals of the now free poles of the CHANNEL 9 & TONE switches. Add the tow 7N914 diodes and additional wiring as shown below.
The extra frequencies will now appear in the Ch. Position of the CHANNEL SELECTOR with the BAND selector in the HIGH position.(The first 11 channels are repeats of existing channels) The "ch 9" position activates the expansion. In the LO TONE position you will get 28.195 Mhz (ch 12) to 28.495 ( ch 40). If you pull IC7 pins 4 & 2 HIGH at the same times you will get up to 28.705 Mhz. This would need a three position switch.
Emperor 5010
Galaxy 99
MC145106 PLL
This Pll includes the follow models Browning Mark 4A, Dak Mark V, Robyn 440, Dak Mark IX, Lake 600, Palomar SSB500 (late), Regency CB501, CBE 54CB, Keycomm 1000
For Export Models eg. Cobra 148 GTL-DX see here
Also these UNIDEN "clones" use this chip Connex 3300, Excalibur base, Excalibur samurai,Galaxy 2100,Galaxy II, Galaxy Pluto, Galaxy Saturn, President Franklin, Superstar 3600, Superstar 3900, Super Galaxy, Texas Star.
This PLL is getting used in a lot of newer radio's. It often has a pair of MC4008 binary adders to extend the amount of channels available.The PLL used 9 bit binary programming with internal pulldown resistors.
Modifications are possible by chanhing the programming of pin 17 (P0) to pin 9 (P8) or changing the mixing crystal.
PLL02A
The PLL02A is the worlds most popular chip used in all the Cybernet chassis. It is simple to modify by changing the binary programming or changing the loop mixing crystal. The US versions use 10 Mhz crystal, Export use 10 or 20 Mhz crystals depending on the model.
The formula for working out the new crystal is :-New Xtal = Current 10 Mhz Xtal ± (N*0.1125) or New Xtal=Current 20 Mhz Xtal + or -(N*0.225),where N is the number of 40 channel segments above or below the `legal` 40 channels.
So a crystal of (10.0525 Mhz + 0.1125 Mhz) or 10.165 Mhz would give you 40 channels starting at 27.415 Mhz etc.
Ranger RCI 2950
The only difference between the old and new versions of the RC12950 is the new CUP board.They require slightly different modifications.
OLD VERSION
The old version of the radio can be expanded from 26Mhz to 32Mhz. Although the use of the 30-32 Mhz range may need realignment
First find the PC board whit the jumpers on ( behind the front panel). Then find `J2`,there is a jumper on pins P3 and P4. If this is jumper is removed you will be from 26 Mhz to 32 Mhz( re tuning may be needed to operate in 30-32Mhz range).
The CUP now needs to be reset by pressing the button located below `J2`
NEW VERSION
As the CUP board has changed the modification is different. On the CUP board there is only one jumper whit two positions avilable. In one position it covers 28 Mhz to 30 Mhz,in the other it covers 26Mhz to 30 Mhz. But if you jump all three pins together you`ll get 26 Mhz to 30 Mhz.(If this is incorrect PLEASE tell me)
Uniden HR2510
This radio can be expanded to cover 26-30 Mhz without the need to realign!
Find IC3 15 (UC1201A,UC1170,UC1250a etc) on the sythesizer board PB121BB.Then locate pins 34 and 35 on the chip, these pins are grounded on the HR2510. But on the European models like the President Lincon they are tied high(+5 Vdc).
Therefor to get the extended coverage needed these pins should be tied high. This can be done in the following way.
On the solder side of the synth board pins 34 & 35 are grouended by the same trace. With a razor blade cut this ground trace.
Now find resistor pack RR301. The left pin of this pack is unused and goes to a solder pad. Now connect a Small jumper wire between this solder pad and pins 34 & 35 on IC3 15.
Now you should get coverage from 26.000 Mhz to 29.990 Mhz in the following banks.
Band A: 28.000 to 28.490 Mhz
Band B: 28.500 to 28.900 Mhz
Band C: 29.000 to 29.490 Mhz
Band D: 29.500 to 29.900 Mhz
Band E: 26.000 to 26.490 Mhz
Band F: 26.500 to 26.490 Mhz
Band G: 26.965 to 27.405 Mhz
Band H: 27.000 to 27.490 Mhz
Band I: 27.500 to 27.990 Mhz
Cherokee AH-100
To expand this radio to 400 channels, do the following.
1. Remove the back cover.
2. Find the small circuit board that has the PTT and UP/DOWN switches.
3. On the reverse side of this PCB look for 3 solder islands that end on the outside edge of the board.
4. Solder a bridge across all three islands.
5. Re-assemble radio.
6. Then do the following...
If the radio has been used before you will need to remowe the battery and the power switch ON short out the supply terminals for about a day. This will cause the processor to clear it`t self.
Make sure the power switch is on hold the receiver but no display, release the CH9 button and the display should reappear.
Now using the CH9 button you should be able to select 10 bands of 40 channels (A thru J ). Now whenever you power up the radio with the CH9 button held down you`ll get 400 channels.. If you do not hold the CH9 button down you will get the standard 40 channels.
Midland 79-290
To set radio foe 240 channel mode press and hold "DW" and "9" then turn radio on.. Select bands by using the "19" button.
To ste radio for 28Mhz to 29.7 Mhz press and hold "LCR" and "eMIC"e then turn radio on. To switch back to 40 channel mode repeat process.

Modulation (This is the hard part)..
Remove R243 (2K2 surface mount, marked `222`, black in color, just above the marking `R243`
Remove C225 (0. 22uF surface mount, no number, tan in color, just below C226, which, in turn is just belowe the `C226` marking.
Component Access And Identification
Remove the front and rear covers (4 screws). The frint cover (with the speaker) stays attached by the speaker and mic leads.
On the back by the rear circuit board, you will find RV201 and RV301, and all the inductor coils, all are identified with numbers printed on the circuit board.
On the front circuit board (the side with the LCD facing you), desolder the 4 pads that ground the front circuit board to the case. Two of these have tangs that must be bent poen to release the board. Remove the two screws on either side of the LCD (friction fit only). Fold the front circuit board over and out of the way exposing the front face of the rear board.
Orient the unit horizontally with the antenna jack facing to your left and the bottom of the transformer visable on the right. The printed component numbers should read right -side-up.Locate the markings `R243` and `C226` in the area near the lower -left corner of the transformer.
Remove R243, which is black in color, vertically orientated, just above the marking`R243` and to left of the `Q205` marking. It has `222` marked on it.
C225 is not marked. Start by finding C226, which is a horizontally orientated, tan component located just below the `C226` marking. DO NOT DISTURB C226.
