INTRODUCTION

The information in this book is not to be used to

exceed F.C.C. specifications, in any case, as applied

to power, modulation, frequency spectrum, etc. It is

illegal to do this to any CLASS D RADIO.

This book is a factual report of gathered information,

and as such is intended for use on radios FOR EXPORT ONLY

If you are not familiar with electronics, it is better

to check for advise with your local electronics or CB

center, as to restrictions, etc., concerning your radio.

More information, on other units will be forthcomming

in future issues, to be published on a quarterly basis.

This book will not be found at a book store, but can be

obtained through your local CB store or distributor, or

 WARNING: MODIFICATIONS IN THIS
BOOK ARE FOR EXPORT USE ONLY.
ILLEGAL ON CLASS D RADIO

Before attempting any repairs or modifications, be sure

that you are familiar with the involved tuning techniques
and the various involved circuits within the radio. Im­
proper tuning or tuning the wrong circuits can result in
serious damage to your radio. If there is any doubt, consult
with a qualified technician before proceeding.

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:

Always use the plastic type of tuning tools. Use an "AHHH"
sound, when tuning, and avoid any whistling as this will
give a false readingTuning for maximum power will some­
times result in backwards modulation, so always keep an eye
on the percent of modulation while vou are tuning. When
attaching external crystal boxes or other similar units,
remember that if lead inductance occurs, it may cause an
improper frequency to be generated. Keeping leads as short
as possible and close to the transmitter section, along
with the use of proper test equipment will result in more
accurate results. It must also be noted that some types of
radios will fail to lock on frequency, when taken to the
higher level frequency spectrum. These will require complete
re-alignment by a technician. Another point to remember
is that the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) will become more
critical and higher as the operating frequency is raised.

MOBILE ANTENNA SECRETS:

Running a whip is definitely recommended for longer range.
FRANCES INDUSTRIES makes a whip (98") which has a DB gain.
Co-phase is not recommende with this antenna, and 22 ft.
of RG-58 coax is required Van Ordt makes an AUDIO KING
antenna, which is an OIL FILLED CENTER LOAD. This antenna
has shown a DB gain of 4.5 and better signal-to-noise
ratio than other antennas.

 MODIFICATION SHEET "A" (COBRA 138XLR/COBRA 139XLR)
(PRESIDENT WASHINGTON/GRANT)
(ROBYN GT-440D)

(1) Shifting of transmitter frequency, by use of the

CLARIFIER/VOICE LOCK control.

The following steps will allow the transmitter

frequency to be shifted 1.5 KHz above and below
the standard operating frequency:
(a) Eliminate D-30 (1S2473).
(b) Remove R-119 (100 ohm) from the PC board and
place it between the cathode side of D-32
(WZ061) and the conjunction position of R-166
and R-169 on the bottom side of the PC board.
(c) By making a short circuit across R-166, the
channel frequency will be shifted 1.5 KHz above
and 4.5 KHz below.

(2) The adding of 32 extra channels.

(a) Locate the extra switch (transfer circuit) and

place it in the on position.
(b) Take a 1N60 diode and place it between the
extra switch and pin #21 on IC7 (UPK858C),
so that the cathode side of the diode is facing
toward the switch.
(c) Cut the island of pin #19, of IC7, and place
the register 4.7K ohm betweem the two islands
which were seperated.
(d) Connect a lead wire between the empty position
on the switch and the seperated island from
pin #19.
(e) Realign the transmitter so that there is a min­
imum differance of RF output power between
channels #1 and #40.
(f) Make the same adjustment for receiver sensitivity.
(g) Check the P.L.L. circuit also.
(h) The following are the frequencies of the new
channels:

Channel Freq-(MHz) Channel Freq-(MHz) Ch. (MHz)

 ROBYN WV-2 3
ADDING (A) CHANNELS TO ROBYN UNITS

(1) Remove unit from its cabinet and locate the black wire
from the channel selector to the ground foil on the
front edge of the board.

(2) Remove the two wires from the ANL switch and solder them
together. Tape them up and bend them out of the way.

(3) Solder a 2 in. piece of hookup wire from the bottom of

the ANL switch to the ground on the board.

(4) Solder a 2 in. piece of wire to a #4204 Miller coil and

mount it as shown.

(5) Solder the black wire from the channel selector to the
center of the ANL switch.

(6) Connect the wire from the coil to the top of the ANL
switch as shown.

(7) Connect the power and antenna to the unit. Put the channel
selector on channel 1 with the ANL switch in the off po­
sition, and adjust the coil until channel 2 is received.
If a frequency counter is available, adjust the transmit
frequency to 26.975.

The unit will now transmit on all of the (A) channels 3A through
23A. When the ANL switch is in the off position the unit will
be normal on all channels. With the switch on, the selector
can be used on channels 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 22, and 23, adding
seven new channels to the unit.

The unit described here is the WV-23, but this can be done
to almost any of the Robyn units with a switch and a little
ingenuity.

The unit will now transmit on all of the (A) channels 3A through
23A. When the ANL switch is in the off position the unit will
be normal on all channels. With the switch on, the selector
can be used on channels 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 22, and 23, adding
seven new channels to the unit.

The unit described here is the WV-23, but this can be done
to almost any of the Robyn units with a switch and a little
ingenuity.

<
W CRYSTAL ORDERING INFORMATION

The special crystal can be ordered from any crystal manufact­

urer. Be sure to specify the type of unit it is for, the
frequency (13.100 MHz), a frequency tolerance of .005% and a
holder type which in this case is HC 18/U.
♦♦
 46 CHANNEL ADAPTOR

As most of you know, crystals cannot be switched with long

distances of wire because of the capacitance of the wire. Tn
many cases the crystal will either stop oscillating or will
be off frequency. This adaptor will switch the crvstals with
a relay and the switch can be operated with any length of
wire desired.

Many crystal synthesizer use what are known as IF crystals.

These mix with other crystals in the radio to provide a dif­
ference in transmit and receive frequencies. If one of these
two crystals were removed, the unit would not transmit on any
channel, but would receive. If both were removed the unit
would not transmit or receive. If the two crystals were re­
placed with two crystals 300 KHz lower than the original
frequency, the unit would transmit and receive 300 KHz higher
that the normal 23 channels. This is the basic idea behind
this adaptor. Of course, two of the adaptors will have to be
used to switch the two crystals, but the whole thing can be
built for less than fifteen bucks including the two special
crystals. The adaptor can be made from a Radio Shack mini
relay and a piece of small hole vector board.

ORDERING SPECIAL CRYSTALS

Most AM units use two IF crystals, the most common is 11.275

MHz and 11.730 MHz. Therefore, the two special order crvstal
frequencies will have to be 10.975 MHz and 11.430 MHz respect­
ively. These can be ordered from any crvstal manufacturer,
but be sure to specify the type of unit it is for, a frequency
tolerance of .005%, and the type of holder which is HC25/U
in most cases.

54

www.hardtlmez99.com
 CHANNEL ADAPTOR

There are many ways of increasing the channel capability of

23 channel radios. The method shown here can be added to
almost any CB radio providing there is space enough. Most
radios use six master crystals which control transmit and
receive for four channels each. In other words, if say XI
were removed, channels one, two, three, and four would drop
out. If XI were changed to a higher freauencv, channels one
through four would become some other channels. By using this
idea and removing the wires from each of the first four
master crystals and wiring them to a switch, the original
crystals could be switched in, or a new set could be "used
just by flipping the switch. This would mean that on the other
side of the switch, channels one through sixteen would be­
come new channels. All that is needed for this is a four pole
double throw switch and four new crystals. The wiring for this
is shown in the drawing above.

CRYSTAL ORDERING INFORMATION

Due to the numerous frequencies used in different units, it

is notpossible to give all the frequencies listed, so there­
fore, I will show you how to figure vour own for anv set.
The information here is for the new 40 channels for 1977.

First find out the frequencies for the six master crystals
in your radio from the schematic. By adding the numbers below
to the frequency of the crystals, the new frequency can be
derived. The added numbers used are the same for all units.

EXAMPLE: Hy-Gain 670

Add this New Frequency
XI 23.290 ♦ .270 = 23.560 MHz
X2 23.340 + .250 = 23.590 MHz
X3 23.390 * .250 = 23.640 MHz
X4 23.440 + .250 = 23.690 MHz

connect the two ends to each of the power resistors as shown.

(4) Raise the top cover of the unit and locate the orange wire
coming through a hole in the chassis to the crystal-varible
switch.

(5) Solder a 4 in. piece of wire to the connection point with

the orange wire as shown.

(6) Solder the other end of the wire to the ground lug just
behind the switch as also shown.

(7) Locate the two red and white wires on the right side of
the switch. Cut and remove the one running around the
switch through the hole in the chassis.

NOTE: The channel selector must be on channel 9 when using

the varible dial. The power switch is capable of 20 watts
output with re-adjustment of the plate and load controls
on the rear of the unit. When using SSB, the clarifier
control on the unit moves only the transmit when using
the varible dial.

The modulation can be increased by adjustment of the

limiter control on the bottom of the unit. This is shown
in the manual and will greatly improve performance.
