    Galaxy radio drift

    Just got mine back from the doctors yesterday, they had it for a few months but it is now drift free, used it from cold and its bang on 12 o clock. Got pretty warm under the heater outlet in the car driving from Sydney to Coffs but everyone we spoke to on the way said perfectly on frequency...

    Not sure what the mod is called to broadcast on multiple channels...

    Tried it on another PLL02A Cybernet, this time a mobile. Worked almost the same, covers about 15 channels with good signal strength before dropping away quickly beyond that. Will try it on a Cobra 148 when we get one. Any idea what the equivalent of PLL02A pin 6 is on the MB8734 chip used in...

    Not sure what the mod is called to broadcast on multiple channels...

    The mod in the sheet I posted earlier does about 15 channels, so that means each one is just under a watt (we are talking SSB here, AM is not used on 27 megs in Oz). Put it through a KLB-240 200 watt amp which in theory would have bought each of the sidebands back up close to the original 12...

    Not sure what the mod is called to broadcast on multiple channels...

    Resurrecting an old thread. Found this mod in an old GE A model we bought at a yard sale. GE was rusted out dead beyond repair it had been in a wet garage for decades. But built a new circuit as above and put it in a working cybernet base radio. And it works real good, put radio on channel...

    Uniden 980 Cracked?: Clarifier + Channel Mod

    We had two of these radios a couple of years back, got one modified locally and kept the other one factory stock. Nice modern looking radio, easy to fit into late model pickup. The modded radio covered 26.8 to 28.0 in 5K steps but ssb power started dropping at 27.8 and was down to 8 watts...

    UNIDEN BEARCAT 980SSB "Cracked."

    The stock mike is junk it makes you sound like you are talking into a pillow, no punch, bass, or top end in it. Good enough for the channel 19 crowd, understandable but not going to win any awards for sound quality. Replaced it with an Astatic 575-M6 hand held power mike, huge improvement in...

    UNIDEN BEARCAT 980SSB "Cracked."

    Datasheets and coding are no issue for her, she designs and builds "black boxes" that allow otherwise incompatible electronics to talk to each other for a living, and does custom bespoke windows apps as well as micros in C and C++. Sure it was a cheap crappy radio, but it was done as an...

    UNIDEN BEARCAT 980SSB "Cracked."

    Yep, wasn't going to mention it publicly but obvious to anyone thats had work done there or knows her from cbt, if you want the detailed technical info on how it was done youll have to ask by email or a pm on cbt. Don't think she is on any other forums or facebook. Loz

    UNIDEN BEARCAT 980SSB "Cracked."

    Had a 980 done by a local tech here. Nice looking radio, easy to fit into the SS ute (aussie SUV / pickup type vehicle). Did about 26.8 to 28.0 in 5K steps, but ssb power dropped by 3 or 4 watts above 27.8 or so. Crap radio though, wasn't sure at first if the mod caused the poor performance...

    pics of upd2824 pll radio modified by STN

    Can't see why that would not work but one of the listed requirements was to use only currently avail new parts, dont know if the 858 is still made but i guess not. Radio works heaps better than my stryker sr-955hpc, 5 s points lower in noise, can hear s3 dx on ssb clearly on the hornet that the...

    < START OF PART 3 > Programming the limits, step by step: Connect the USB cable, start the app, and click "Connect to transceiver". If all goes well, the radio will connect to the computer. The PLL profile name will be read back from the radio (here, it's "uPD2824 SSB, ver 1.00"). The...

    < START OF PART 2 > Other parts of the conversion: Tuning holes drilled on the print side of the board for the 3 covered cans. No hole was needed for the tripler adjustment, because this can is no longer used (the new PLL divides the VCO directly, without a downmixer). This open circuited...

    For anyone interested, here's the latest radio we had converted by a certain sydney tech. She called it the EXPANDA board. I agreed to let my old hornet 2 be the guinea pig for this one and the result was way better than i expected, the final version should be awesome!!! < START OF QUOTE >...

    Drew’s CB Radio Tapes

    Some Aussie tapes from the 80's. A band that went by the name of "The 30 DB's" used to poke fun at some well known loud voices by making songs about them (some with samples of the victims voice included), prank calling them, and other general mayhem. Warning: defiantly NSFW. Contains...
