Has anyone performed the Frequency Mod as outlined on the CBTricks web site.
I performed the mod as shown there but I can twist the Channel knob until I
wear it out and it still only works on the Normal channels. I hate to get
beat when all that has to be done is to add one diode. (g)

Illegal to modify CB radios to work out of band. Guess we are gonna
have to send another letter to Yahoo and tell them about the unsavory
content of that group. You keykweenz can slobber all you want about
how information is legal, etc. Who cares? When Yahoo gets the picture
as to what you are doing with the space they give you they will yank
your group, which is also perfectly legal.

Enjoy it now, keykweenz.

What is Yahoo?

You listed your model as 77-255ESP, cbtricks mod is for the 77-255ESP2
model.

When I read your response I said, "Oh no". I was thinking that I had mad an
expensive mistake. However, it is an ESP2. I am glad it was just a typing
mistake instead a purchase mistake. (g)

I soldered a diode into the B position and started twisting the dial. Every
time I started from, say channel 1, the next time I rotated the dial to
channel 1 again I was still on the normal channel 1.

Got any Ideas?

Bill

I'm not familiar with that particular Midland model. I'll assume you are
using a freq counter to confirm that the mod does not work as the mod states
it will not show on the LCD which band you are on. Also check to make sure
that the diode is not reversed and no bridged solder joints. Other than that
I haven't a clue. Good luck.

Really! Why expand an AM only radio?

We only use one of the channels, and then only for a few days.
