Hi, I want to add some stuff to my 29 XLR. I want to add talkback, better recieve range, & a little more power. How would i go about doing that?

Why talkback in a radio without echo? If you want more power, buy a 100 watt amp.

 

[killapits]

you could use a rfx75 for more power

I would send it to a decent radio shop and have them peak and tune it properly. They will have several options for you to choose from. Here are some decent places right off the top of my head in no order.

1) DTB Radio
2) Sparky's cb
3) Custom cb Radio
4) Bob's cb
5) 8541 Electronics

Just do a google search for each and a web page should be there at or near the top.

I dont have the money for an amp & i'm running a DM 452 power/echo mic.

Unless the receive is off a mod like that is a waste of money. You can search the web and find peak and tune info from several different sites. Talkback is a simple procedure and someone here should be able to give you info on that.

what type of antenna are you using and how is it mounted ?
you antenna system can/will make more difference than any modification .

i agree with psycho about adding a seperate amp for more power rather than modifying the radio for more power .

this is a cheap and easy way to add variable talkback to a cobra or uniden radio .
Univeral Talkback Controller **NICE**
i just got one to try on my uniden 78 , it does what it says .

That is a pretty neat item....take the variable talkback with you from radio to radio.

The links are very old, and Buttfuzz no longer has control of the domain.
He has not been around for a while.
