 EXPORTS

LAFAYETTE 1800, 200 channel-AM/FM/SSB/CW; Freq Range: 25.965-28c005MHzc

Power Specs-MAX: SSB-12W, AM-7<>5W. FM-10W, 3-settings
RF Gain: Local-Mid-DX ?T Cheap route again!
Fo Selection: -Here’s where it shines, a 50-pos switch
and 4 position band switch. True lOKHz
skips-no gaps, or jumping around-the only
exception is Band C, Pos 1-40..(Here every­
thing is identical to reg. CB Fo’s.).
Clarifier: Split...Coarse adjusts TX/RX, + 5KHz*
Fine adjusts RX ONLY, + 800Hz.
PLL Chip: PLL02A, Pins 8, and 9 (Tied to Logic 1, so
have a lot to play with, as plenty of ? sw’s.)
? Switches: NB, ANL, CB/PA
FINAL NOTE: El-Cheapo Final again, no SWR Mtr.
Class shows in the 50-pos switch only with
lOKHz spacing!

(*) SUPER STAR 2000, 200 channel-AM/FM/SSB/CW; Freq Range: 26.065-28©305MHz

Identical to above unit in all dimensions, with the
following exceptions: 40-pos ’CB* switch, and 5-pos
band switch; also different Fo range.

(♦) SUPER STAR 2000, 200 channel-AM/FM/SSB/CW; Freq Range: 25.965-28.005MHz.

EXACTLY IDENTICAL TO THE LAFAYETTE 1800

(*)- TWO (2) different versions of this same radio exist, check first!!!

LAFAYETTE 24OOFM (2400), 240 channel-AM/FM/SSB/CW; Freq Range: 26.065-

28.755MHz.
-------------------------------- ----- ALL SPECS IDENTICAL TO PALOMAR 2400 ------- (Vol. 17)
TEABERRY STALKER XX (FM), 80 channel, AM/FM/SSB; Freq Range: 26.965-
-Base Station- 27.885MHz. (CAUTION, as these have 220V transformers
and power cords/plugs; you will have to change yourself;
if not changed by the distributor!) Dealer price is
running $275-350 wholesale! MB8719-PLL chip, so plenty
to play with. I counted 20 different function switches/
buttons on front of unit-has a SWR meter and clock.
Lo/Hi frequency switching is done by crystal switching.
Use Pres. Madison skem. for service work on main board.

NATO 2000, 200 channel AM/FM/SSB/CW - U.K.-FM; ’with the Roger Beep’©
O.K©, this is the one that everyone is asking about-
Particulars: 40 ch select/5 band switch (A-D, and FM);
bands A-D are 26.065-27.855MHz in AM/FM/SSB/CW modes
with usuall jumps/misses on 40 ch. ’CB’ selector.
When band switch is moved to FM you have 27.60125-
27.99125MHz in lOKHz increments (No jumps-skips).
RF power, RF gain, is controlled by switches again
like most similar units. Clarifier is Coarse/Fine
also. (Complete Owner’s Manual wasn’t provided nor
was the schematic, so let me know if I was wrong on
above).

11
EXPORTS (Cont.)

SUPER STAR 360, 120 channel AM/SSB/CW; This unit has 2 different
frequency bands: 26.965-27.405MHz and 28.000-28.940MHz.
PLL chip is MB8719; so no big problem getting the
missing portion of the bands; as plenty of idiot
switches on front. "A definite plus is SWR meter,
RF gain pot., and bias is adjustable on both driver
and final" But has the Bird Final-cheep! Split Clarifier.
(Note-If anyone comes up with Factory §ervice Manual
on this unit, have need of it already for proposed
360 channel mod.!) RF power specs: 12W-SSB, 5W-AM.

SUPER STAR 36OFM, 120 channel AM/FM/SSB/CW; This unit has 2 different
frequency bands: 26.965-27.855MHz and 28.500-28.940MHz
(No definite PLL chip information or other specs, as
no Owner’s Manual or schematic provided-NEED. Suspect
is similar to above Mdl. 3^0 internally with FM Kit,
and crystals changed only.

COBRA 148GTL-B, 60 channel AM/SSB is what is advertised! But the Fo

data sheet received shows 120 channels? (Anyone knowing
for sure; would appreciate knowing what gives; send the
complete Owner’s Manual!) Frequency range of the 60-ch
unit: 26.965-27.605MHz. 120-ch unit: 26.315-27.605MHz.
Schematic and Clarifier mods, have been printed in SCB.
«One special note on this unit is that it has a 60 ch.
selector switch. No jumping around on ch’s 23-25 straight
progression in frequency. PLUS for this unit is the
SWR Meter, and the capability of additional Fo’s up to
28.245MHz with no hassle (Re: Vol 17).

HOTI There is supposed to be a hand-held SSB unit coming

into the U.S. from ??? Have been promised a peek at it

as soon as it gets IN. If it materializes will have the

full story on it for Vol. 19.

Now, to the unit everyone is driving Doris crazy about,

calling day and night. The Cobra 2000GTL-DX SE LIMITED ? T

I have been told by trusted individuals that no such unit

exists! Even went so far as to write letter to Corporate

President of Dynascan Corporation; which has been unanswered

as of Feb. 19, ’84. DOUBLE-CHECK YOUR SOURCES...

3. Solder the Black wire from the clarifier control to DC ground.

4. Solder the Violet wire from the clarifier to the diode as shown, +8VDC

5. Unit should now slide; -4 to +2KHz. For additional slide lift the
banded end of diodes between the Xtals and trimmer-add 5*$mH choke in
series...Yields -8 to *6KHz slide. Have found it best to do only on
the AM, as gets very touchy on SSB.

LOW FREQUENCY MODIFICATION

lo Remove the Blue wire from the top of the board that is attached to the
side of the channel selector.

2O Run this wire to a SPST switch. (In this unit the RF Gain switch was used,
after ’hard-wiring •)•

3. Run another piece of wire from the switch, back to the board where the
Blue wire was removed.

4. This will yield following Fo’s: 26.695-26.955MHz on selector positions

This 1OKC switch is unique in that it causes all the frequencies

to go up lOKC's. ALL BANDS, ALL CHANNELS..,.

1, Locate the jumper labeled JP54. It is connected from Pin 9 of IC-6

to board ground (D.C. gnd,),.o

2, Replace this jumper with a 4.7X ohm i watt 5$ resistor.

3. Wire a Single Pole Single Throw switch as follows/shown.

A. Solder one wire from switch to Pin 9 of IC-6.

 PANASONIC RJ3150

26.325-26.955MHz Modification

Follow steps below exactly! (*)-See drawing for amplification....

1. Change X2 to a 28.875MHz crystal.

2. Change X3 to a 18.18MHz crystal.

3. Change DIO to a 'Super Diodethis will increase the VCO's range.

4. Cut run between pin 10 and the channel selector.

5. Bridge cut with IK £ watt 5# resistor.

6. Isolate Pin 9 completely from the 5VDC buss line® don't forget
to install the jumper.

7. Wire up the Double Pole-Double Throw-Center Off switch exactly

as shown.

CAUTION: Some units might have a squeal on transmit; this is caused

by changing DIO to a 'Super Diode'. If adding a Ipf in parallel to
the diode doesn't cure the problem; you will have to go back to the
original varactor; and settle for less bandwidth!

If switch is wired exactly as shown will have the following:

Switch DOWN: Selector Position 1-40; 26.325 - 26.765MHz

Switch UP: Selector Position 1-27; 26.645 - 26.955MHz

Switch CENTER: Normal Operation..

 COLT Milt 3558 (H7131-PLL)

Have been wanting to get a look at one of these since I saw the
picture of it being held in one hand (palm). Well, that was a bigger
hand than mine! But is still the perfect little AM rig for all those
small cars with no room - after a few adjustments!
Obtained this one direct from the Factory. (Had to pay for it; so
don’t owe ary favors; and still wouldn’t lie about it - a buck is a buck!)
Checked it over to see if had been set-up at the factory prior to shipping
The person who puts the screws in case, means for them to stay!
Out-of-box performance; RF Power was: Ch 1 - 3*^W» Ch 20 - 3»5W»
Ch 40 - 3.6W; with modulation at 40# maximum just talking into microphone.
One nice thing is that the Owner’s Manual contains: Schematic, PCB Layout,
•Line-up Proceedure’, Block Diagram, and VCO/Mixer Fo’s.
Modulation and RF adjustments are no problem. Turn RV201-max CW,
for 85# + modulation (Don’t defeat); adjust 1205» 1206, 1207 for peak
power at ch. 20. will bring up to about 4.6W across band. Don’t change
the Final to 2SC1307 as the present final in unit is rated at 20W.
Receive is another story, too noisy for me. Changed C125 to a
3.3Mfd/50VDC electrolytic (+ to gnd.). this got rid of a lot. I also
added a 40MFD/25V ’NONpolarized ’ electrolytic across the speaker terminals
This cleared up the receive enough for my use. (Grandma’s, excuse me!)
But still had to fix the idiot light circuit, as no control over on
Tx when peaked up - changed RV202 to 100K. • Adjust for 2 lights on when
dead keying. 3 lights on when talking into mike, and this way will let
you know that something is wrong with antenna system-is all 4 lights
come on when transmitting I
For those that don’t have the Owner’s Manual have put adjustments
below as the RV#’s are under the potsT?

 SM5104-PLL FREQUENCY MODIFICATION (AM CHASSIS)

This modification is for the SM5104 AM Chassis. Units most

commonly found are the Couriers Caravelle 40D, Conqueror 40D, FanFare 880DF.

The chip has more coverage than the unit can utilize; 24.775 to
28.355MHz in these chassis - but realignment of the PLL circuitry is
necessary for extended coverage.

Switching arrangement below and chart is for a •stock* VCO in

a Courier Caraveils 40D.. as this unit only covered from 26.165 to 27.825MHz.

Consult SAMS 157» pg. 56 for normal pin conditions - and mount all

New Frequency Modifications

Here are additional Fo Mods, actually the easiest ones yet.

Instead of using 2 switches to open Pins 11 and 12 of IC-5; as in

Vol. 15 page 22; to obtain extra frequencies:

Try the following by opening up the trace to Pin 2 of IC-7.

Will give the following with pin 2 open:

Bandswitch Low : 25.875 - 26.315MHz

Mid : 26.325 - 26.765MHz
High: No change

Also try setting the CH-9 switch to the mid-position for

higher frequencies, (27.895)* Have no further info on this-but
easier to open the off pos of switch, and then close the off pos
by eliminating wire at the switch-simple I

 SUPERSTAR 2000 FINE TUNE UNLOCK MODIFICATION
- - 50 CH. SELECTOR VERSION - -
1. Follow the Blue and White wire from the clockwise rear section of Fine
Tune potentiometer. It should connect to the emitter of Q-34, remove
at that point. Note the point by cleaning out hole!

2® Follow the Pinkand White wire from the Coarse Tune to the PCB.
Connect the Blue and White wire removed in last step to this point in
series with a 100 ohm 7 W 5# resistor. Connect the cathode of a1N4730
(ECG-5006A), to the junction of wire and resistor; connect the anode
of zener to DC Ground. (3.6VDC power source created for fine tune).

(Pink/white) original pos. — —

(Blue/white) removed in step 1

3* Remove the Green wire coming from the Mode switch to the Fine Tune pot,
at the Fine Tune pot. Reconnect it to the emitter of Q-34 where hole
was cleaned out.

4. Remove R15, (located next to X-5).

5* Disconnect the junction of D8 and R16 from the CL line at the cathode
of D7, by unsoldering the junction ends from the run. Lift the ends
and solder together. (Be careful to leave the path between D7 and Rll
connected.) D8 and R16 are located toward the outside between X5 and
the mic connector«.

6. Solder, a 39K ohm resistor to where D8 and R16 have been soldered
together. Solder the other end to where Green wire was soldered in
step 3® (Emitter of Q-34.)

7® Bridge a 47K ohm resistor from D6’s anode to DC Ground, on the bottom

slide up faster. Without this it sort of •lingers’, also decreases
the Fine Tune slide range to about 1.3KHz; and makes it easier to handle®

 COBRA 148GTL & 2000GTL FINE VOICE LOCK

This modification gives: fine tune to the 148GTL and improves the
usefulness of the 2000*s fine tune. If you have converted your 2000;
you probably noticed that at the extreme CCW position of the coarse tune;
the fine tune has no effect on frequency-period. That is because the
coarse tune is now at ground potential on it’s swing, and fine tune has no
voltage to add or subtract from.
This proceedure will eliminate that problem. In my unit at the max
CCW position of coarse tune: the fine tune moves the Fo 1.3KHz at max CW
position, overall tuning range of fine tune is 2.5KHz.
For the 148GTL you will need a coarse and fine tune dual pot, with
concentric shafts: front portion should be 20K and rear portion IK, inner
shaft should control rear pot. NOTE; Be aware, the shafts for the control
used in 2000GTL will not fit the 148GTL, as the shafts are too short.
Control will work however-but rubs the face plate of unit. Don’t order
it unless you just have to have as the cost is $7.50 * shipping.
(UPDATE: ON COSTI - Try $12.50 +, UPS collect; without knobs and knob
collets! )•
The right size control dimensions are: Outer shaft length from the
top of bushing - 5/8”, inner shaft length from the top of outer shaft is
3/8”, bushing size is 1/4”. As of this writing neither Uhiden or Dynascan
can provide this correct potentiometer. The Cobra 148GTL-DX has the
ideal part, but no part # available. One note however: Dual Potentiometer
Manufacturer is ALPS - if anyone can get ahold of their catalog - BINGO!
Let SCB know immediately and will pass on information to all readers.
Parts required for modification of Fine Tune:
1 - IK ohm resistor
1 - 4.7K ohm resistor
1 - 220 ohm resistor
1 - 10-turo 5K ohm trimmer
1 - Dual Pot as described above if going to do 148GTL.
Remove the following components: R-174, R-175» R-44, VR-5» R-187, R-188,
D-51» D-52, and D-75* Wire up the potentiometer as shown below..

To align the frequency, center up the knobs and adjust all three modes
for center slot. Now, decide how much slide you will need. The slide
is adjustable from 5KHz to 20KHz, but only in the down portion. Upwards
amount of slide will remain the same. Reason: Voltage is remaing constant
at the top of control; but can adjust resistance to ground with the 10-turn
trimmer; thus can control the amount of voltage drop. In most cases the
slide up will be about 7KHz and down about 13KHz.
Remember the 5K trimmer will control the down slide, so if it doesn’t go
down that far - don’t panic! Adjust the 5K trimmer, for the desired range.
If you want maximum slide; the 5K 10-tum trimmer may be omitted; but
insert a 100 ohm resistor in its place. This is a safety measure to
prevent shorting out the 8.2VDC source,—’Murphy *s Law!

 COBRA 135XIR (TC5080P Divider-NOT PLL! ) - UPDATE

Found this unit at yard sale, as-is for $20.. Decided to fix/modify
and sell, have a very good Zebra which couldn’t beat anyway.
After getting into unit found bad Final and Clock, (forget ordering
a clock for this unit - $!)...
TROUBLE: Don’t know if Vol. 10 pg. 43 is wrong or there was a
production change. Anyway Pin 8 of TC5O8OP is tied to Pin 13 with
etch under the Chip.
To modify correctly: Push/Pull Pin 8 up to the component side,
or remove chip and bend pin 8 up before replacing the chip on PCB.
Following is chip, switch modification - follow to the letter.
®....Use the drawing below for Steps 1-4, clean out all holes on push
button assy board..........

1. Remove wires: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H; from the push-button

assy board.
2. Remove wires A, B, and C from other board, solder wire D to
where wire C just removed. (Cut to length, as are ’hard-wiring’
the PA/CB to permanently CB.).
3. Remove wires E, F, and G from other board, solder wire H to
where wire G just removed. (Cut to length, as are ’hard-wiring’
the NB/ANL permanently on. )
4. Turn unit on and double-check to see that you wired everything
correctly so far.
Wire up the push-button assembly board exactly as drawn below, wires-1*.
Use 4-wire ribbon cable (solid), or any solid wire.

LINEAR TIPS ----- Problems SQUEAL ON TX.

Radio is good I But when hooked up to linear: SQUEAL!

Try following® as has worked with units:

1. Check grounds on Radio, Linear, and Antenna.

2. Check for NO voltage drop to either unit when keyed up®

This is the main cause of squeal. Voltage/Current limiting!

3® Try different lengths of coax between the radio and linear®

4. Take case off radio® check for a small disc capacitor on the
audio chip to CASE GROUND® Remove it, and try again.
- This has worked with the Uniden SSB chassis before -

5© The microphone can also be a source of problem. SQUEAL after

all is nothing but RF FEEDBACK. To eliminate if microphone
is the problem: Go to straight cable, instead of coiled.
In difficult cases an RF filter in the transmitter audio input
is needed. Try the following: Ferrite bead on audio input lead®
•001MFD from audio input lead to D.C. Ground® or a filter network
on the audio input® See below for two different types:

NOTE: A lot of people are buying new relays when it isn’t necessary.
Take off the plastic case and disassemble the relay to where you can
get a burnishing tool inside where the center contacts are and burnish.
Be careful when taking spring on/off, or will spend some time trying to
find that small spring. If burnished carefully will last a long time.

Tristar 747 - Problem scratchy sounding transmission on SSB.... Check for

missing part around Q38 circuitry, C184! Should be 470Mfd/16V electrolytic
there. If after replacing doesn’t clear up problem, change Q38 (2SD325)
to a 2SD839*«*«*This should clear up everything...

CAUTION: GE 3-5811B, markings on the rear of chassis are correct as to

plug polarization...Bass-AckwardsI if you don’t have the DC power cord
that came with it originally. Reverse wires inside unit, and re-mark
the outer case PERMANENTLY for standard cable!

CHECK THE POWER SWITCH: On older units that have been in service for a
while problems seem to crop up intermittently. Jump the power switch,
carbon builds up on the contacts and loose current under load.
Don’t clean them - Replace!

END OF ALIGNMENT...

uPD861 PLL - AM CHASSIS (UPDATE)

O.K.; questions are popping up all the time on this one; regarding Freq,
going up instead of down. Here it is - 2 different chassis: 2-Crystal
with Pins 7 and 8 at Logic-0; 3-Crystal with Pins 7 and 8 at Logic-1.
I only know of two 3-crystal chassis myself, both Realistics: Mils.
TRC-424/431 (if anyone knows of more-pass on info®). These units go
UP in frequency when modified 155KHz, DOWN to 25.045MHz. But keeping
the power up across more than 1.2MHz bandwidth is another story®
The 2-crystal chassis doesn’t go down; but UP -(way up)- 29,5MHz;
(That figure is theory-wise!). Haven’t worked on any, but VCO circuitry
is less cluttered up and should have a wider bandwidth also.
One identical feature in both chassis is: Semi-potted VCO module,
and that is where the VCO Varactor is! By removing it and replacing
with a "Super Diode" should widen bandwidth - but is not an easy job.
Don’t recommend doing this unless you just have to have those extra Fo’s®.

ERRORS - NOT IN SCB!

Hjr idea of "Afternoon Delight" is not spending it on the phone;

explaining how to wire a microphone! Especially R/S 21-1175

(Noise Cancelling Pre-Amp Microphone) to 5-pin President.

So, here it is: The President uses an "ungrounded" audio in receive,

and shield is not a "common ground",.

Mike must have following changes made internally; cut etch in one place;

and move the Blue wire. Then it works like a champ! Pin wiring is also

below, with original/modified drawing of the microphone interior....

New Pin Wiring for 5-Pin President: 1 - White, Audio - Hot

2 - Shield, Audio Ground
3 - Black, Normally Closed-shorted to Blue
4 - Blue, Common center for switching.
5 - Red, Normally Open..

This is an excellent microphone for SSB use, most independent

dealers will not stock or recommend it for the simple reason-no profit!

Due to lagging CB sales by Radio Shack, (Due mostly to their own high
and discontinuance of SSB Base unit.) Look for this microphone to be
dis-continued!

 KIT-137

FOR USE ON 10 METER AMATEUR BAND ONLY... .ITT m AL ON 11 METER CB BAND.«

Kit is furnished with Aluminum Heat Sink, and Factory Assembled/Tested

RF Amplifier PCB©

Instructions;

1. Drill 2 holes in the Aluminum Heat Sink for mounting the Power Transistor.
Use liberal amount of heat sink compound when mounting.
2© Connect RED wire to 13o8VDC/6 or 7 Amp source. (Note: Will probably have
to use a separate switch for this; other than present ON/OFF switch; as
the current required is higher than most set’s capabilities.)
3. Connect BLACK wire to D.C. Ground.
4. An LED may be added for power indication. Solder the Anode to 13VDC
source, Cathode to BLACK wire that goes to 330 ohm resistor©

Specifications;

A.M© - 4 Watts input; 35 Watts output, drives 55W PEP at 6 Amps.

S. S.B. - 12 Watts PEP input; 55W PEP output at 7 Amps.

We have found that when installing the 10 Meter Amp in a radio additional
shielding is required to prevent feedback. To make a simple RF shield do
the following: Use piece of ’un-glazed* notebook/typewriter paper and
aluminum foil. Fold paper in half; insert piece of aluminum foil (cut to
fit, with approximately 2” hanging out on sides); tape the folded over
long side together. - make sure no foil is exposed on the long side..
Place the shield over the RF AMP PCB; making sure no foil contacts the
PCB; securely tape the aluminum foil to the heat sink. Bend the excess
paper shield around the heat sink and tape securely also. SEE DIAGRAM

The folded edge of heat sink must also be drilled to attach to CHASSIS
GROUND...

Yep! Another Freq. Code: This is AM also - had chance to check this one out
with dummy load and on the air. (But couldn’t take covers off, as sealed).
02A chassis; power flat from 25*755 to 27*405. 100# + modulation, excellent
receive..will find out who built and try to have info for Vol. 19; as this
is definitely an excellent and useful Freq, modification for AM rigs.

 ANOTHER - PLL02A AM MOD?

YEP..! BUT, this one is for those units you may have run across
that won’t work on the standard 02A AM mod. - These ’units’ are the
”3 crystal 02A chassis”; really were ’left-overs’; factory-converted
from 23 channel to 40 channel. (Standard 02A AM mod. works only on
the 2 crystal 02A chassis which is the ’true 40 channel chassis’....
NOTE: SCB Kits #’s 83-1 and 83-2, will work only on the 2 crystal
chassis.)
•Factory converted* units are easy to spot from the 3 crystals,
and the etch being cut on bottom of PCB under the PLL chip.
Known units at this time ares HYGAIN Mdls. 2679 , 2679A, 2682 , 2701;
PEARCE-SIMPSON - Tiger 40A; if anyone runs into any additional units
pass the Brand/Mdl.# on...
You will immediately notice that PLL pins 8, 9» and 10 are tied
together. Pin 10 has to be completely isolated for low frequencies.

To modify for LOW Fo*s, follow instructions and use drawing below:
lo Remove wire running from the channel selector to Pin 10 of the PLL
chip at the PCB end.
2. Completely isolate Pin 10 of the PLL chip by cutting the etch as
shown in drawing.
3. Use an existing ’cleaned-off• switch that has been hard-wired or
a DPDT switch0 and wire up per drawing.

 $ $ $ INDIVIDUAL I.R.A. - TUBES $ $ $

Received a call from local TV shop last week offering me 6 color

TV’s - no charge, just haul away. I figured out that they were cleaning
house on all their ’junkers* again; but went down to pick up anyway;
as might pick up some spare parts for my own TV’s. Surprise!
Reason for getting rid of them: Repair bill’s too high and customer’s
didn’t want sets if that was what it was going to cost. So they pulled
the tubes out and said to H____ with it® Tubes worth more than the sets
anyway and nobody would buy for the repair bills!
If you haven’t checked the prices on tubes lately, do it!...
Tubes went up in price Oct ’83, and scheduled for another increase in
March ’84. At present time: 6DS4 - $33.35, 6GH8 - $11.40, 6BQ5 - $14O95.
and 6JE6/6IQ6 - $29.50 ...Retail! Can make a fortune selling at f price!
Anyway, about 6 years ago I did some insurance work after the big HERricane
tore up the S.E., starting in Mobile and going North. Bought 4 complete
TV shops at 1/ on the $ average. Sold off everything at auction; but
kept the tubes: wore out the sockets in two tube checkers. (After cleaning
the mud off them!) WARNING: Check the tubes first to see if the.. type is
acid etched on the glass - then you can put in water. I had my nephew
clean them for me when I wasn’t around, and lost about 20$ (No I.D.)...O
But - back to the TV’s, fixed 5 I had tubes for and sold 4 for $85
each with standard warranty (2 steps out the door)! The5th I donated to
Salvation Army for a $225 tax write-off; complete with paperwork on
Lifetime PictureTube Warranty (25” XL-100 Console). Ran into problem
with the clean unit I wanted to keep, didn’t have one tube - $29.95*»•
Went back to TV shop and bought the tube, but owner made me a better
deal! Trade me the tube for labor bill on a scanner repair; an old
ACT-10 H/L/U Regency; DEAL... Fixed scanner in 20 minutes and took back.
He got a little hot when I told him the trouble; someone had filled it
with Bearcat Crystals and still couldn’t program it right; or put them
in the right sockets! Put 3 local police Fo’s in it, and said HO-HO-HO
Merry Christmas! Seems he had paid $120 for it, got burned-only worth
$70 full of Xtaiso ...Grandma got a 15** Color with Remote for all the
trouble; in better shape than when left the factory; as this had tuner
rebuilt by PTS also.
What I am trying to get across is that those tubes you have been
throwing around are going to be worth a small fortune. I have mine
inventoried and whenever a price change comes in, refigure their total
retail value. Last change I made $5.270.45; ON PAPER; and don’t even
have to feed them/don’t talk back/just sit there making money!!!

Ed. Note: Hope I got his point across correctly...Scrounge, before it’s
too late and everyone gets the idea. Been doing it for years
myself, but go one step further. Those small screen TV’s are
too expensive to repair, and Pix Tubes are expensive (5"-9").
Have about 60+ of them, just for replacing in those AC/DC/Battery
sets. Come hunting season, sell the H out of them! $$$

 SAVE THE CHIP - MAYBE YOUR ME TER I

Was asked to try fixing a Beckman DVM by friend at local TV shop,

zapped it when probe tip slipped and hit a 400V line. Told him to ship
it back for repair; as Beckman makes their own chips; bill came to $51*84,,
I had 3 sets of ’homemade* probe tip inserts that I made over 20 yrs.
ago, and gave him a set. Said He’d never seen anything on the market
like these; and wanted 6 more sets of them; if I could make them up.
He paid for parts, and whipped them out during Monday Night Football.
Total ’dealer cost’ for parts was $9*87*<>...used all new parts, but
could be made for less with ’junk box parts’. Some manufacturer will
probably come out with them at $9*95/pair, molded connections-so when/if
they bust will have to buy new ones,.,.BUIID YOUR OWN.,............

 REMOTE CONTROL OF AMPLIFIER

Had a probleml No room to install RF Amp in car under the dash.

So came up with a way to control the unit with a remote switching box,
with indicators for each function. Installed the amp where I wanted
and also couldn’t be seen.
This design is also adaptable to any device for remote operation
if controlled by D.C. switches for On/Off operations.
All you have to do is wire up another set of switches exactly like
the originals, but add one set of switch functions for indicators to each.
All interconnections are point to point wiring, color coded wiring is
suggested with large ribbon wire for current loads.

Note: Switch RI; this does not have an added section; isn’t needed for the
main power switch. R2 and R3 do have the added section for indication lamp
circuit.

remote switching unit was built in a small Digital Display case

found at local R/S. LED’s were mounted above switches on the RED Plastic
bezel of case, all wiring was point to point.

Operation is simple: turn off all switches on original and operate

from remote. Each individual unit is more or less ’custom built’ due to
different designs.

 THINK SMALLI 1-2-3

Those older type units you probably have laying around because
of the cost of replacement crystals - get them out and go to work....
Most early CB and Scanners both, used the large plug-in type
HC-6/U crystals. You probably left the bad ones in; just in case for
reference; and hope of finding another cheap..
Do it the easy way if you have the smaller size plug-in crystal
with the equivalent frequency.

I. Unsolder the old can from the header of the bad crystal. Clean off
the old crystal and wires (by the way those little wires to the crystal
were usually GOU)..»so collect a few million and you can then afford to
buy a cup of coffee, MAYBE!)
20 Bend the leads of header where you removed the crystal to fit the
legs of scrounged-up small crystal socket, (look in all those old
23-chnl. rigs laying around for sockets.) Cut header leads as short
as possible.
3. Solder small socket legs to the header leads carefully!

Plug small crystal into socket, then the header back into the large socket.

 BASIC - DO & DON’T: VIDEO CASSETTES/MACHINES
Reprint by permission: Custom Conversions.

Io NEVER touch the tape itself.

2O When not in use, store tape upright in container provided.

3. Keep container/tape away from heat, and magnetic influence.

([Link]: Store up high-away from where a Vacuum Cleaner might
mess up the taped material!)

4. Always rewind tape before removing from machine. (If you don’t
want to rewind..carefully push the eject; while holding finger
over the housing; then ease off gently..in this manner the lid
of video cassette doesn’t flip down immediately and catch the
tape.)

5. High temperatures can permanently damage tape! Do not store

in your car’s glove box or trunk.

6. Keep machine and tape cassettes dust free and clean. Store
tape when not in use. There are several good covers for machines
on the market. (Make sure the one you choose gives adequate air
circulation for the machine, and machine is turned off when used!)
DO NOT use a towel for a cover!

7. READ your Owner’s Manual concerning DEW! Machine and tape must
be at room temperature; if not - a tape jam may result!

8. NEVER place anything on top of machine, except the cover.

9. Always push STOP first when going from PIAY to REWIND. Any
sudden change that is going to put a strain on tape - push STOP
first, will save you a tape plus whatever was on it. Tapes are
really not that fragile, but the material on them is!

10. Note: Most machines put a snap on tape when the rewind is completed.
To avoid this - watch the tape; when it gets down to near the end;
push STOP - then PLAY - then REVERSE SEARCH. This way gently rewinds
and shuts off when getting to the end. (Not all machines have this
capability, so won’t have this choice)

11. If you happen to break a tape, don’t take apart to fix it yourself!
Most manufacturers will replace it free of charge, if you mail it to
them. If your machine breaks more than one tape in a row - get a
service shop to look at it...(In 4 years have only had one broken!)

12. Keep children away from machine and tapes, not a toy! Have seen
machines in repair for: Soda Pop, Toy Soldiers, Chewing Gum,
Marbles, and even a Chicken Leg Bone!

 VIDEO ”DUBBING/COPY ING” TECHNIQUES (♦)

WARNING: COPYING OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL IS STRICTLY ILLEGAL.........

If you are going to make a copy of television program.

Set machine to FASTEST recording speed and tape everything including
commercials; if you are going to need more tape for an extra long program;
change it during a commercial - don’t bother rewinding as can do it latert
Many times material has been lost by people forgetting the Pause button and
the machine shuts itself off. (Write down the edit points on a piece of paper
and edit when making your permanent copy at the SLOWEST recording speed.
When copying an original tape make sure you edit out the ’’WARNING”,
and name of company producing it®
In 98$ of cases can usually ’dub/copy’ originals with excellent
results by using a "special” set of cables. (These will not be found on
the dealers shelves...i They are in the business of selling ’Gadgets’
that are not necessary-for a huge profit and cost to you. ••I)
These "Cables” are an underground item and hard to find, cost is
usually about $20 + per pair. (Whoever provided you with this copy
can probably get you a pair, - note: do not try to use just one, get the
set..ol) When you get them, unkink and lay out flat for a couple of days.
When not using store in a wide loop and in plastic sealable bag.
NOTE: I have seen an 8 hr. tape made of cartoons that looked original, a
copy was made of this "Master Copy", and was even impressed further by the
quality.
In ALL cases when making a copy of original or a "Master Copy", use
the slowest speed...It is hard to get into people’s mind that it makes a
better copy..•I
Follow the diagram below EXACTLY when making copies. It is very
important that these are the ONLY wires hooked up.

1. Receive Machine (Copier..set SLOWEST copying speed; usually ESP or SLP.

•Tracking’ to middle position-leave alone. Set tuner
to any un-used channel in your area.)
2. Transmit Machine (Original material or copy to be transfered to a
"Master Copy". Turn modulator off - usually a button
called TV/VCR. Run off a few feet of material and
adjust the tracking on this machine for best picture
on the TV/Monitor.)
3. Run off a short copy using both machines. Stop-rewind and check your
copy’s quality; might have to readjust tracking slightly-this will happen
only in rare cases and then only those tapes having a heavy "Copy-Guard”.
Rewind both tapes after checking copy and go for it! (Remember when
finished with copying; break the tab off the cassette; to prevent the
accidental erasure of material.)

(*) This amplified article of SCB #17 is for the many requests we have
had pertaining to the hook-up.®.ALSO the cables, patience-as we are now

Trouble with ’Flagging* or ’Bending of Picture* at top of screen?

This is a common problem on some of the older ’tube/hybird ’ sets when

using a VCR. Some of the most common immediate cures are listed below:

1. Change the Sync tube; to same type or high Mu type. (Mu means gain).
2. Change the Dual Diode; (Horizontal Phase Detector).
3. Change the Video Detector Diode/Tube. (Jaybird sets will have the Diode)!
4© As a last resort; you will have to go into the TV’s AFC circuitry and
change components in the integrating circuit. (Not for the novice; have

 ANTENNA MOUNTING-MOBILE
MY WAY
People are always asking me, "Where is the best place to mount my
antenna"? 95# of the time - the antenna - turns out to be a $10 Special
from the local discount store, JUNK! Have to fight back the urge to tell
them where it should really be mounted,.©

I very seldom do any antenna installation as it is always needed when

100+ in the shade; and 10 above (with wind chill factor of -40)© Very easy
to discourage people with a 100$ minimum labor charge, and they have to leave
their car. (Laugh, I do it all the time..!)

Whenever doing antenna work use ball mounts or magnetic mounts.

Trunk deck mounts are utilized in some cases where the radio has a ’large
bandwidth’. As a 102" whip won’t do it.
When using a ball mount the first thing I do is ’throw away* all the
exterior nuts/bolts/screws/washers, and utilize BRASS components for perm­
anent installation. Silicon rubber is used to ’seal* the mount.

For Large/Middle size cars: mount on trunk lip, or ball mount on the trunk
deck itself, using separate large plate under­
neath to prevent flexing of the metal (Old beer
cans, in these new cars will flex readily!)
Small cars: Clamp bumper ball mount, trunk mount, in some cases will have
to build a special bracket for ball mount so can attach to frame
as no place to attach to bumper.
If a Slope back or Station Wagon try to talk into a magnetic mount, for
top of the vehicle.
Pick-Up truck: ball mount on the pass, side of cab, magnetic mount, or
mirror mount antenna. (To me nothing looks funnier than
pick-up running down the road with dual mirror mounts)..
Vans: Magnetic, mirror mount, or ball mount (ball mount-up high on the
side of van-not low or in the middle, will have SWR problems if not.)
If radio is stock Fo’s, suggest 4* whip instead of 102" for the
following reason: The large van body will pick up static electricity
and if any electrical interference is around will attract. Use a
lightning arrestor..©I ran into this problem $$ wiped out voltage
regulator, and blew-up the battery! Didn’t hurt the Radio?
Arcing will sound like a loud pocket watch out of time - Watch Out!

Whenever doing any antenna wiring exposed to the elements; I use Marine
Coaxial cable also; it costs a little bit more - but worth it!

Power and Frequency modification

Power Modification:
1. Remove driver and final, (save the final - 2SC1975*)
2. Remove right screw in the heat sink, (looking at chassis from back,
component side up.)
3. Install the old final in driver’s position, (or use a 2SC1306).
Reason for removing screw was to facilitate the mounting of driver
to the heat sink, simply tilt up the driver.
4. Install 2SC13O7 in final’s position.
5. Retune for peak power on channel 1 if you are going to do the Fo mod.
If not, retune for best even power across present Fo coverage.

Frequency Modification: This unit has UPD858 PLL chip, and will give

 VOLTAGE REGULATOR DESIGN - USING ZENER DIODE

The essential components in a zener voltage regulator are a limiting

resistor and the zener.
The zener attempts to maintain a constant voltage (Ez) across itself
by drawing the proper amount of current. Several important specifications
are necessary in order to acquire the proper diode.

1. Choose the voltage of zener (Ez) you requires Values range from 2.4 to
200 Volts, and current ranges from f to 50 Watts©
2© Figure the power rating: Pz = Ez (I load) (1.25). The 1.25 is a
safety factor.
3. Figure maximum zener current (Iz max©): Iz max. = Pz/Ez (©9).
The 0©9 is the safety factor.
4. Series current limiting resistor is figured by: R = ER/lz max.
ER is the voltage drop across the resistor or Voltage input-zener
voltage©
5. Power rating of resistor is: PR = ER/lz max.

(R = Resistance; I = Current; E = Voltage; P = Power)

Example of circuit requiring a voltage of 9V at 400ma (.4A) is given below:

SPECIFICATIONS

E in = 13 Volts
E out = 9 Volts
I load max = 400ma (.4A)

(Ground

The following steps are necessary to determine the required circuit

value.

1. Since 9V is required output voltage, a 9 V zener is used.

2. Power rating = Ez times Iload times (1.25): 9V times ©4Amp times 1.25
equals 4.5 Watts © A 5W zener is used as closest value above 4.5 watts.
3© Iz max = Pz divided by Ez times .9: 4.,5W divided by 9V times 0©9
equals .45 Amps.
4. R = ER divided by 1^: 4V divided by .45 equals 8.88 ohms. A 9©1 ohm
resistor is used as closest standard value.
5. PR = ER time Iz max.: 4V times .45 Amps equals 1.8W. So use a 2W
resistor. (Note: to be on the safe side always overrate your parts!)
REMEMBER MURPHY....

So, from the above calculations the specifications of circuit are:

5W, 9V Zener Diode and 2W, 9©1 ohm resistor.••••

 AIL ABOUT CRYSTALS

The Crystal Oscillator is the best choice when an accurate, stable

frequency is needed. I’m sure everyone is familiar with the 10.240 Ref.
Oscillator widely used in PLL circuits. Crystalline elements, such as
quartz, are said to possess "piezoelectricity*.
This means that if the material is deformed, it will generate a
voltage. Also, if a voltage is applied to the crystal slab, it will
deform, or oscillate, and therefore generates an AC voltage that has the
that has the same frequency as the vibrations.

Equivalent circuit for a crystal is shown below:

Notice that there is inductance, resistance and capacitance;

both series and parallel.•

The crystal can be either Series or Parallel resonant, depending

on if the inductor resonates with the series or parallel capacitance.
At series resonance: impedance is minimum. In parallel resonance, it
is maximum.

Crystals can be ordered for the fundamental mode or the overtone

mode. Fundamental: being the natural resonant frequency and generally
under 30MHz, parallel resonant*..below 500KC, series resonant type are
used. Overtone crystals are made to resonate at odd multiple of the
fundamental frequency.

The crystal resonant frequency depends primarily on the physical

dimensions of the slab and type of cut. Above 20MHz, the slabs are
so thin they can easily be broken. This is why overtone oscillators
are used in VHF and UHF applications. Frequency multiplier circuits
are extensively used in these services to obtain final output Fo’s.

The drawings below show the types of crystal packages most common,
and the picture is of three different type frequencies; Fo’s on the
crystals left to right are: 250KHz, 91®$KHz, and 7.925MHz.

 CORRECTIONS

KIT-27A: Note, 2 different production runs have been found on this unit!
discrepancy is in Pin-10o CAUTION: Ground is sometimes taken
from pin 18 by a wire running under the chip to pin 10, and must
be removed* On the other run pin 10 must be isolated by cutting
etch in two places*

Volume 9» page 12: Step 3» DELETE all reference to removal of C34.

Replace CR4 with a Super Diode is correct.

Volume 7, page 28: All the Fo’s should have a 0 for the last digit-CHANSE.
On this PLL chip the even’s come out when converting due
to the chip’s ROM code converter*

(*) Volume 10, page 49: This modification was drawn up wrong, I know as sent it
in myself © The correction to drawing is below*
NOTE: Custom Conversion #18 is available from Selman
Enterprises on this unit (26.525-27*795MHz).
