The following is written by ZR1EV, Shawn: --------- Hi all I have recieved quite a lot of mail re the CB to six metre conversions described in the 10 parts of an article recently . Instead of replying to each one individually , I will reply in a bullitin , as everyone basically wanted to know the same thing . The reason I mentioned a particular chassis part number and not the rig(s) by name , was that the bullitin went out to SIX@WW , and the same rig will go under different names in as many countries . The Uniden chassis under discussion is fitted to a number of local rigs . These include : Major MSB6205 General Electric 3-5825A (A-model) Tedelex 6000 ("old" model , pre-1985) Tedelex 7000 etc There were also a couple of rigs (the so-called "B"-models) that use the same synthesizer configuration and similar circuitry , but have the IF/audio and the synthesizer/switching/RF sections on two separate boards . These are also good candidates for conversion . The difference is that the bandpass filter is switched between the RX and TX , opposed to each circuit having its own tuned circuits as found in the Major chassis . (T204/T205 in the "B" models , and T8/T9 - T4/T5 in the "A" models . So if you want to try ane of the "B" model rigs , you will end up winding 2 coils instead of 4 ! The part numbers are even the same , so you can wind them the same way. T204 is part number 10CA006 and T205 is part number 10CB003 . The "B" models include: All of the Midland base stations("old type",PLL02A(G) based synthesizer) Midland 79-891 Genaral Electric 3-5825(B) General Electric "Super Base" etc I have also done a few so-called "export" rigs ...120 channel all mode (FM/ AM/USB/LSB) . The sections needing modifications were for all intents and purposes the same , but the synthesizer used a bank of 20 Mc Xtals (3 in all) in place of the 10.0525 & doubler configuration used in the Uniden Chassis . The rigs I had done were the Lafayette 1200FM (also goes under a number of different brand names) I hope that this info answers some of your questions . Any other queries are welcome .(ref to original series for my contact info) vy 73 de Shawn ZR1EV JF96ic SMIRK#5673 ---------
