Post by fernan_01 »

Hello, is there any way to make the VFO windup mod to cobras 25 or uniden 68 just like the cobra 29 and 148?

There isn't a Delta-tune. Because of this there isn't TX/RX switching on the reference crystal. Without that present there is no easy way to do the windup.

It looks like most of the 25 schematics don't even have a capacitance diode on the 10.240 crystal. The circuit would need to be heavily modified.
