Vintage 8719 8734 channel mod ??


Two 4008 chips with diodes. Serves to put the new channels in proper order from 1 to 40. Easier to use than the typical toggle-switch method of modding the 8719's binary inputs. That setup tends to scatter the new channels around. Requires a printed "cheat sheet" showing which switch to throw and what channel number gets you the desired "extra" channel.

This is how Galaxy gets multiple bands, but they're using a chip with a max of about 500 channel frequencies. The 8719 restricts you to 128.
