I gotta 148gtl made in 1996 with a rci8719 chip in it. Will it mod the same (channels) as a regular 8719??? Heard someone say they didn't. Thanks, Hooty :roll:

as far as I know hooty ? it should work fine and very easily done ....it helps to have the tools of the trade for accuracy but it's still pretty much cut and dry , this is one of many you can do and you can also look through out the Net for more ,channel mod good luck to you.

I've done the chip conversion on a number of those newer ones with no problem.

Thanks...We'll try it out

I found that pin 10 to ground = blowed chip....I thought that's what I had read somewhere before but couldn't remember...Anyway, I will replace with MB8719 and all should be well!!!

I must have been in ones that were made right before the chip was swapped.

I have only seen 1 that would not convert. The rest have had no problem with.

Used a 18pin IC socket and installed another RCI8719 (the only type I could find) and removed the mod...all is well
