    RCI8719 Mods in Cobra 148GTL

    my understanding is the rci8719-97 is the same as the mb8734 (pin 10 disabled) it will still do extra channels just 127 or so (forget how many exactly if you use the 1/2 vco mod in the "poormans" mods on it in other words with stock crystal with stock binary codes more down than up channels as...

    Royce 1-642 Base Station

    one thing i will say is his pdf file lacks a important change that needs to be done to fully get advanage of his pll module .. when i did ours the radio had weak rx/tx down the 26mhz range (no amount of retuning would fix) and its all due to a bandpass filter block thing you have to take out and...

    HF'S ON AM

    most hf ham radios (not 10m mono band radios) use one sideband+carrier and are limited to the bandwidth of the ssb filter on tx (unless it has a seperate am filter in the first I.F in the more expensive hf radios) if it does not have a am filter the ssb filer is too narrow for decent am hence...
