Hi.

Had a similar prob, but once programmed its there..



Start:

Press power, PA, and dimmer keep these pressed down and the code button flashes keep your finger on these three buttons until the screen goes blank and then press M1 and then turn the radio off: this will give you the international mode with a coverage of 26.065-28.785Mhz(with alphas) AM, FM, USB, and LSB modes!

When in this mode the dimmer switch acts as a band change .



After programming, then press and hold the mode button to change from AM/FM to USB/LSB modes.



If you dont have the CODE to operate the radio, there is a Factory Default code of 4 short depressions of the PROGRAM key. This should work if the code has NOT been changed.



The MR3 module appears to be a factory update/mod and is in my radio also.



I hope this helps



Roger

cb,10 meter ham rig,export radio whatever... I have one of these radios and bought it used from a guy at a truck stop. he told me it worked good but it did not have but 40 channels and am only... well I have heard about the mods to trick this unit for different parts of the country so I did not even worry about the guy telling me it wont go to ssb, well I have the radio and have pushed every combination of buttons I have found on the net to trick or mod the radio for say..."export use" and I still have just 40 channels am... No usb, No lsb,No fm, No over 40, No under 40 just 26.965 thru 27.405 AM ONLY. any one know what's the deal? I had to open the radio to see if there was say a jumper or whatnot and I found something very interesting...this small black box that looks added like a noise toy or echo board that says president on it... it was defiantly added after the radio was built but it says president and it is a molded black box... there are some number's that say mr3? the ? part is unidentifiable as some one took a solder gun and melted that number so its real number is like mr34 or mr3a or mr3?... the radio looks very clean and other than this added black box I see no other marks in the radio... I can e-mail pictures if some one wants... please help me get some sideband at least, and 40 up and down cant hurt either... thanks guys, Pac Ratt

Check this:



* Remove The 8 cover screws from the sides of the radio.

* The black plactic front panel is attached at the top and bottom with 3 lips. Remove all the knobs then Remove the front panel carefully.

* Disconnect the Red and White wire connector from the MIC jack board and the 2 white flat ribbons that come from the main PCB

* Remove the two screws that hold the Display PCB to the chassi.

* Slide now carefully, without bowing, the PCB free from its retaining tabs.

* Locate on the back of the pcb the processor IC701 (UNIDEN UC1520).

See if there is a resistor soldered in a plastic tube or heat shrink

across the bottom side of the Processor. It should go between the 2 square pads on either end of the bottom row of pins. (there is also 2 square pads on the either end of the top row of pins. )

The bottom row is the row with the case indent marking where pin1

is. I can send you a diagram if you want.



This is the conversion for the George that brings it out of conventional mode.If the resistor is not there that may be why your not getting any freq's.



Let me know,
