looking for someone too do up my radio

[minitrucker]

i recently purchased a uniden 68xl i need a small radio for my little car.....the radio is stock i would like talkback installed green nitro knobs green meter and channel leds and tuned with 2-4 watts dk and 10 swing too drill my ts 667 what would i end up paying for these mods ?

 

[preacherman]

Way more than it's worth! The tuning part...probably abut $30 for the tune and swing kit. The "bling" part...about what you paid for the radio in the first place. Your call.

Then do it like this. All the stuff is at Radio Shack. If you don't have a meter, buy one and consider it a gimme since you aren't paying anyone to do the work.

The Talkback is simply a resistor bridging the ground on CB and PA jacks on the back of the radio. Try a 47 ohm 1/8 W.

The Rat Shack also has the 5MM LED's for your meter. Different colors, I think a 100 ohm resistor on the anode side( the side that isn't flat) will make it work, others correct me if I'm wrong.

I've done it, I just forget, sometimes.

I would like talkback installed.

Check out a truck stop for a plugin variable talkback. That is if you have a speaker and PA output. Worked great for me on a cobra 29. It runs to output to an external speaker.
Find the limiter diode and put a resistor in series to raise the Modulation. Add a good power mike and you got it. That way you won't butcher the radio. Good Luck.

im gonna try a 1/2watt 150 ohm resister on the pa and ext speaker ground for talkback i cant find the L10 pot though can someone lead me too it ?

 

[minitrucker]

i have fixed some things b4 im ok with trying

My God man ! you have a 667 ! Send it to DTB ? From what I understand he is anti-swing kit ! which is understandable. CB Tards mod will work fine , but I'd surely leave D10 alone ! anti-spiking diode is there for a reason , it ain't worth the extra watt if that ! I don't have a problem with a simple cap/resistor mod , 1000ohm35volt with 1 watt resistor for the DK. Noth'in wrong with take'in things in your own hands minitrucker , it's your stuff. You have a nice healthy box there to take care of your power needs dude. I mean , if you want perfect (if there's such a thing ?) I'd have it benched and let someone whom has the tools of the trade dial the stuff in for you , chances are it would be around 1 watt DK into your box , swinging maybe 4 or so at 100% modulation from your radio. I'd say you had plenty of watts to take care of your needs from there.The best of luck to you man.

i might not run the 667 cause i have a 450 xl cobra like yours switch new in the box i might run that instead

 

[minitrucker]

i wanted too try and tune it and run bearfoot for awhile in gramas car

 

[hotrod]

i got one new.barefoot thier awsome just put on a astatic d104m6b.this radio
rocks even stock.if ya tune it your self leave the limiter INTACT

 

[minitrucker]

finally got help on cbradiotalk forum yes im leaving the limiter intact

should be fine for the 667 it has a driver in it check our cbtricks .com you should fine some info you need there
