Hi
I just took my in superb shape Motorola ssb base 555 to my local tech who has been doing this for like 35 years at least and there is a reason for this issue for which he couldn't nail down and fix exactly so I'm asking for input that could lead to a sure fix for this issue good folks !!!!!!!!!!!!!
As stated in the CB Tricks secret CB book that my upper channel expasion should be up to channel 59. My radio will only lock in to do up to channel 50. My tech adjusted the appropiate pots inside which he had to cut away some of the metel of the metal casing where those pots was to check voltage and adjust thing as well.
One thing though which was odd I should mention is the radio as has lower channels below 1 which aren't mentioned in the Secret CB book... So I'm thinking there is a posibility that that might be affecting my uppers ?
Also those lowers span alot of channels and are on half channels ending in zeros on the frequencys. The uppers check on frequency though as they should on the ones I have which is 42-50 !
So I know alot of veteran CB folks come on this forum and could likely help me out with the situation I have here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So here's to hoping and PLEASE respond if you feel you have something useful and helpful to my somewhat silly issue here so that I can get the missing 10 upper channels or so.
Thanks in advance and take care, RETRO (Jimbo)
