Uniden Grant XL

Damnit, back in the day you could jump a few wires here and there and connect them to the switches on the front of the radio and bam you got extra frequencies.

I cannot find that mod, everyone now wants you to reprogram the eprom or buy an expo kit.

I want to convert this thing "the old fashioned way", anyone have a link to the mod?

This will disable the channel 9 function but im sure that you want care about that !

Just remove D28, D29, D30, then on the Grant remove the yellow wire (the one that goes to the channel display) from the junction of these diodes and ground it !

Then add a jump wire between pin 10 of the PLL and the junction that the display wire was just removed from.

Retune if needed

With the channel 9 button in you will be 64 channels above the normal ones !

Channel 1 will be at 27.605 Mhz thrue to channel 40 at 28.045 Mhz !

But DONT use any frequency over 28.000 Mhz as this is amatuer territory !

got that off of radiomods.co.nz should be what you are looking for i hope.

I looked on radiomods.co.nz and all I found was the eprom mod?

Where am I looking wrong at?

DTB has the channel mod: http://www.dtbradio.com/wholesalecobra.htm Look under the Cobra 148 channel mod...it's the same.
