Note: Some newer Uniden's now have the RCI8719 'clone' Pll. You will
have to replace the PLL with the old MB8719 BEFORE attempting these
mods.
To get coverage from 27.455 - 28.045, find the MB8719 PLL, then locate
pins 10,11and 12. Cut the track going to these pins. Locate a ground (chassis
or track) .Using a DPDT Center off switch, connect the switch to pins
10,11,12(IC side of the cut) on the MB8719 PLL.This Mod will give you the
normal 'FCC' channels in the center position. In the Down position 27.605 -
28.045, In the up position 27.455 - 27.605( on channels 2 -14).See diagram
below.
Further expansion can be done by replacing the loop mixer crystal, giving
you a new set of 40 channels per crystal

Clip off the YELLOW, WHITE, & PINK wires from the ch.9 panel switch.
Reconnect WHITE & PINK together for normal LED channel display. Cut
off the GRAY wire from the HI/LO TONE panel switch. Remove the
grounding jumper at pin 9 of the MC145106 PLL chip. Connect a small bare
wire between the center terminals of the now free poles of the CH.9 &
TONE switches. Add the two 1N914 diodes and additional switch wiring as
shown below
The extra frequencies will now appear in the Ch.12-40 positions of the
CHANNEL SELECTOR with the BAND selector in the HIGH position. (The
first 11 channels are repeats of existing channels.)The "ch9" position
activates the expansion. In the LO TONE position you will get 28.195 Mhz
(ch.12) to 28.495(ch.40).if you pull IC7 pins 4 & 2 HIGH at the same time
you will get coverage up to 28.705 Mhz. This would need a three position
switch.

1. Remove the case and find the small circuit board (EOT004410Z)
connected to the left side of the radio as viewed from the component
side of the main chassis.
2. Find the wire that is connected to this circuit board(in step 1)..Remove
this wire.
3. Remove the small screw that holds the small board on to the chassis.
4. Under this board you will find a 7 pin plug that is not connected to
anything. Insert this plug into the empty socket on the small circuit
board.
5. Replace screw back into the small board and close case.
MC145106 PLL
This PLL includes the following models...Browning Mark 4A, Dak Mark V,
Robyn 440, Dak Mark IX, Lake 600, Palomar SSB500 (late), Regency CB501,
SBE 54CB, Keycomm 1000
Also these UNIDEN 'clones' use this chip...Connex 3300, Excalibur base,
Excalibur Samurai, Galaxy 2100, Galaxy II, Galaxy Pluto, Galaxy Saturn,
President Franklin, Superstar 3600, Superstar 3900, Super Galaxy, Texas
Star.
This PLL is getting used in a lot of newer radio's. It often has a pair of
MC14008 binary adders to extend the amount of channels available.The PLL
uses 9 bit binary programming with internal pull-down resistors.
PLL02A
The PLL02A is the worlds most popular chip used in all the Cybernet
chassis. It is simple to modify by changing the binary programming or
changing the loop mixing crystal. The US versions use 10 Mhz crystal,

The formula for working out the new crystal is :- New Xtal=Current 10 Mhz
Xtal ± (N* 0.1125) or New Xtal=Current 20 Mhz Xtal + or -(N*0.225), where
N is the number of 40 channel segments above or below the 'legal' 40
channels.
So a crystal of (10.0525 Mhz + 0.1125 Mhz) or 10.165 Mhz would give you
40 channels starting at 27.415 Mhz etc.
This should give you normal 1-40 range with the switch in the UP position
(26.965-27405) and upper channels in the DOWN position(27.425-27.705)
on channels 12 to 38. You may have to adjust the VFO and broadband the

radio, but wait until you have all the extras installed.
Switch #2
Now, in conjunction with switch #1, you have the following "bands";
Old Version
The old version of this radio can be expanded from 26 Mhz to 32 Mhz.
Although the use of the 30 -32 Mhz range may need realignment.
First find the PC board with the jumpers on (behind the front panel).Then
find 'J2',there is a jumper on pins P3 and P4.If this is jumper is removed
you will get coverage from 26 Mhz to 29.7 Mhz.

The CPU now needs to be reset by pressing the button located below 'J2'
New Version
As the CPU board has changed the modification is different. On the CPU
board there is only one jumper with two positions available. In one position
it covers 28 Mhz to 30 Mhz, In the other it covers 26 Mhz to 30 Mhz. But
if you jump all three pins together you'll get 26 Mhz to 30 Mhz.(If this is
incorrect PLEASE tell me)
Uniden HR2510
This radio can be expanded to cover 26-30 Mhz without the need to realign!
Therefore to get the extended coverage needed these pins should be tied
high.This can be done in the following way.
On the solder side of the synth board pins 34 & 35 are grounded by the
same trace. With a razor blade cut this ground trace.
Now find resistor pack RR301.The left pin of this pack is unused and goes
to a solder pad. Now connect a small jumper wire between this solder pad
and pins 34 & 35 on IC315.
Now you should get coverage from 26.000 Mhz to 29.990 Mhz in the
following banks.

Cherokee AH-100
To expand this radio to 400 channels, do the following..
If the radio has been used before you will need to remove the battery and
with the power switch ON short out the supply terminals for about a day.
This will cause the processor to clear it's self.
Make sure the power switch is on hold down the CH9 button and slide the
battery pack back on. Now you should be able to hear the receiver but no
display, release the CH9 button and the display should reappear.
Now using the CH9 button you should be able to select 10 bands of 40
channels (A thru J). Now whenever you power up the radio with the CH9
button held down you'll get 400 channels..If you do not hold the CH9 button
down you will get the standard 40 channels.
Midland 79-290
To set radio foe 240 channel mode press and hold "DW" and "9" then turn
radio on..Select bands by using the "19" button.
To set radio for 28Mhz to 29.7 Mhz press and hold "LCR" and "eMIC"e
then turn radio on. To switch back to 40 channel mode repeat process.

Remove the top cover. Just above the PLL you will find a jumper block.
There is only one jumper on this block..Move the jumper from bottom left
position to top right position.
