ANYTONE ARES II 11 meter freq conversion.

[unit_399]

My Esposa has really gotten into Cb since I installed a radio and an amp in her 4x4 truck. I put a cobra 138XLR in there for her, but am looking to replace it with something with more freqs and FM. Besides, it's so damn BIG. She isn't into LCD displays and buttons and likes old fashioned rigs with knobs and stuff. So, I'm looking to get her an ARES II. BUT . . . it doesn't come stock with CB freqs, and I looked around and haven't found a cb freq conversion for it. Can it be converted to 11 meters ?? If so, how?? Without an LCD display how do you get into the service menu if there is one?? Help please.

EDIT: Duhhh. I looked it over a little closer, and see that it has a programming a jack on the back. Still , how do you program it??

For 11m there is a jumper inside that needs to be moved, super easy.

Hi JJ, have a peek also at the radioddity QT40. Pretty much identical to the ares2

Here is the info for the engineering menu, I don't know if anyone came up with the list of what the parameters do though.

No mystery, pay someone to do it. Ask Panic attack to do it he's on FB, Ask Tim Chambers at Tiny Tim's Check Google search. I'm sure they could do it ya. They are trust worthy folks. I know we all want to save some $$, I love saving myself. I was dirt poor for most of my life. Im not now, Dirt...

Shame shame 399, replacing a classic Uniden 858 chassis with surface mount stuff, The 138xlr is only about 4" longer lol.

I have the Radioddity QT40 and it's very easy to convert for CB band by removing the lower cover and moving a jumper. There are vids on YouTube. Programming is pretty simple also. It is a very large radio like the Cobra 148 so there is that. Another option would be the President McKinley.

I have a quad 5555n and a QT-40 and they are about the same.Easy conversions. I like The Quad5 better Frequency display. Easy to use. The QT40 has that nice CB radio look You can get a readout with holding the UP-Down buttons And key up Gives two digits at a time while keyed.

I know. I hated to do it, but the wife wants FM. Can't do that with the138XLR. Don't worry, I'll put it to good use.
