Hello everyone, my first post here. I've been playing with various CB radios for a while but this is the first CB I've ever had that's been modded. Picked up at auction for 10 bucks. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify what has been done to this and what the 5 switches do? Also added some yellow arrows in the pics to show circuits that have been cut (that I noticed) any help is much appreciated! If more pics are needed please let me know!! Thanks in advance!!

Board is a Uniden PC-385 with the MB8719 PLL chip.

The white wires/switches are for extra channels.

IIRC, the clipped resistor/orange wire are part of the clarifier mod.

Thanks!! I figured the white wires/switches were for extra channels, but any idea how these would operate? Would it help if I color coded the wires from switch to board? Also any idea on the lone switch off to the side with the red wires??
 
as Robb said a freq counter is needed for the freq of the channel mods. looks like some audio and RF mods have been done. do not change any thing as the person had to spend a lot of money for these mods and look good the way they are done. could have a low and high power mod done from some of the wires I saw. you just need to have the equipment to see what all the switches do. looks good the way it is set up.
