Hello I am new here, 148 gtl mod help

[Steve Hurst]

Hope I am posting in the right place. I have a Philippines made cobra 148 gtl with a mb8179 pll chip. It has had the pll crystal (big one center front of board) removed and wired to a 3 position switch with 2 crystals 11.1758, 11.4758 plugged into it and other things done to make what ever they were doing work. Can some one show me a link to what has been done so I can remove it, one side of the switch doesn't work. It looks like a hack job and the wires move around and it seems to cause frequency drift. I like to possibly find diagrams or directions I can look at to figure out what has been done so I can remove it, or at least the mod name so I can google it, I am having no luck. Thanks

remove the switch wires and solder in an 11.3258mhz crystal.
re-align radio.
