1. Locate and isolate pin 9 and pin 10 as shown in fig 02a4. Be sure to isolate
each one completely. Then solder a 3.3k resistor across each cut as shown.
2. Mount a DPDT/Center off toggle in a convenient location. Then using a piece of 5
wire ribbon, make the connections as shown. Be sure to check for any solder bridges
before you proceed.
3. Now if all connections are right you will have normal channels in the center
position, and the following channels in the other two.
Switch in the "up" position:

http://kg4zpn.netai.net/cb/pllfreqmods.htm 4/31
9/4/2015 PLL Frequency Mod Diagrams
1. Locate on the bottom side of the circuit board, Pin 9, Pin 10, and Pin 11 of the
main PLL chip (IC1). On some units this will be an 02A chip and others will have the
MC145109 chip. However they are both identical and have the same functions. Now
totally isolate each of these pins with a small cut. Pin 9 is connected to a larger
land and will require special care in order to totally isolate it.
2. Next solder a 3.3K 1/4 watt resistor across each one of these cuts as shown in
the diagram above. Next twist together the wire from the cathode end (banded end) of
2 small signal diodes (1N914 or equivalent). Using some cutters cut the other 2 ends
(anode end)* to about 1/2" in length. Solder one of the anode ends to pin 11 and the
other to pin 10. * Note that leads of the signal diodes in the above illustration
are shown as being long. This is for illustration purposes only. In reality you
should keep all leads as short as possible. This not only looks better and helps to
prevent any problems from short circuits as well as making a stronger connection.
3. Next mount 2 Single Pole Single Throw toggle switches in a convenient location,
normally on the front radio panel. Now tie the two bottom poles of the two switches
together by soldering a piece of hookup wire across them. Use a long enough piece
of wire for this so that after you tie these two poles together you have enough to
solder the other end to the circuit board ground.
4. Now Solder a piece of hookup wire from the middle pole of the first switch (SW
1) to the cathode ends (banded ends) of the diodes. Next solder a piece of hookup
wire from center pole of the second switch (SW1) to pin 9.
5. Next recheck all your connections to make be sure that you don’t have any shorts
or solder bridges.
6. Now turn the unit on and check for normal operation. With both switches in the
down position you should have the normal 40 channels. Now put the unit on channel 30
AM With the SW1 switch down and SW2 switch up, key the radio and check for 27.945.
If it's not there you will need to carefully adjust the VCO slightly in order to get
http://kg4zpn.netai.net/cb/pllfreqmods.htm 5/31
9/4/2015 PLL Frequency Mod Diagrams
it to pop in. The VCO is the adjustment located in the oblong metal can just to the
upper right of the main PLL chip.
7. Once that you have 27.945, check for power output on channel 1 (leave switches in
the same position) compared to the power output on 27.945. Usually it will be lower
on the upper channels. In order to correct this you will need to balance the power
by adjusting T4' while on 27.945. Adjust T4 in USB transmit mode while injecting a
constant tone into the mike. Adjust T4 until the power output is equal or fairly
close to the output on channel 1.
Note that T4 is located just to the right of the large 10.7 MHz filter. T5 is right
next to T4.T5 controls the balance of the power level on the lower channels in
comparison to Channel 40.

9/4/2015 PLL Frequency Mod Diagrams
1. Locate pin 19 of the 858 PLL chip on the foil side of the circuit board. Isolate
this pin by making a small cut as shown in the above illustration. Install a 4.7K
1/4 watt resistor across this cut as shown.
2. Mount a SINGLE POLE/DOUBLE THROW/CENTER OFF mini toggle switch in a convenient
location. Use 3wire ribbon cable and solder both ends as shown in the above
diagram.
3. With the switch in the Center Position you will now have Normal Channels. With
the switch in the Down Position you will have the Low Channels. With the switch in
the Up Position you will have the High Channels.

9/4/2015 PLL Frequency Mod Diagrams
1. Locate Pin 20 of the PLL Chip on the foil side of the circuit board. Carefully
make a small cut on both sides of the pin in order to isolate this pin completely
from the circuit board ground path. On some models such as the TEABERRY "T" DISPATCH
it is necessary to install a jumper across these cuts in order to reconnect the
ground back together. Next install a 4.7K 1/4 Watt Resistor from Pin 20 back to
ground.
2. Mount a Single Pole/Single Throw switch in a convenient location. Connect 2
pieces of hookup wire to the switch as shown. Connect the wire from the center lead
of the switch to pin 20. The other wire from the switch connects to the 5 Volt
supply Voltage. Now with the switch in the up position you will have the following
high channels. If the channels are not there you may have to tweak the VCO coil
adjustment as well as the transmit balance adjustment in order to pop them in.

http://kg4zpn.netai.net/cb/pllfreqmods.htm 8/31
9/4/2015 PLL Frequency Mod Diagrams
1. Locate pin 19 of the 858 PLL. It will be is connected to ground by a very small
land. Using a small xacto knife, make a small cut between pin 19 and ground. Be
sure to totally isolate pin 19 from ground. Next solder a 4.7k resistor across this
cut, from pin 19 back to ground.
2. Locate pin 21 of the 858 PLL. Carefully make a small cut and isolate just this
pin. Then solder a 4.7K resistor from this pin to ground too.
3. Mount a SPDT/Center Off switch and .a SPST toggle switch in a convenient
location. Using a piece of 3 wire ribbon cable solder each of the 3 wires to the
SPDT switch as shown above. Then solder the corresponding ends to the PLL chip. Be
sure to check for any solder bridges and that you have correctly attached each of
the wires. Then connect 2 wires from the SPST switch back to the PLL as shown. Again
be sure to check for any solder bridges and to thoroughly check each connection
before turning the radio on.
4. Now turn the radio on and check to see if all of the channels are there. If not a
slight adjustment to the VCO may be necessary in order to get them all to pop in.
Once you are sure that all the channels are there you will need to check the power
output on channel 26.505 and the power output on channel 99. Normally the power
output will be much lower on channel 99. In order to correct this you will need to
wideband the radio. After widebanding, performing this procedure you should be
able to adjust the transmit balance adjustment and obtain fairly close power output
on all channels.

9/4/2015 PLL Frequency Mod Diagrams
The conversion shown above is identical to the one shown earlier. However instead of
using toggle switches, a rotary switch is shown. Use of a rotary switch gives a more
professional touch and is easier to operate than toggle switches.
Follow the wiring diagram of the rotary switch closely. P1 is Pole 1, P2 is Pole 2.
Make sure to jumper these together as shown above. Use the same channel chart, just
above. Positions on the chart coincide with the rotary switch positions.
uPD858c SSB MOD #5
1. This conversion works in conjunction with SSB conversion "#3" or "#4". You must
http://kg4zpn.netai.net/cb/pllfreqmods.htm 11/31
9/4/2015 PLL Frequency Mod Diagrams
do either the 858 SSB conversion #3 or #4 before this will work.
2. After performing the #3 or #4 858 SSB conversion, mount a SPST toggle switch in a
convenient location. Connect the wires from the switch as shown. The cut shown above
should have already been made in the previous modifications.
3. Now check for the following channels:

1. Mount 2 SPST Toggle switches in a convenient location. Be sure to wire the
switches up as shown,and to solder each wire carefully.
2. Now with both switches in the down position you will still have the normal
channels. Refer to the 8719 Channel chart for the switch positions and their
associat1. Locate and unsolder the 11.1125 crystal and replace with a new 11.3258
crystal. Locate pin 10 of the MB8719 PLL chip. Notice that it is connected to
ground. Make a small cut and totally isolate this pin from ground. Before proceeding
turn the radio on and check to make sure that you have all of the normal channels
and that the frequencies are correct. If necessary adjust CT3 for USB first, then
L20 for LSB, and L 19 for AM.
2. Next mount your switches and wire them up as shown above. Be sure to check all of
http://kg4zpn.netai.net/cb/pllfreqmods.htm 13/31
9/4/2015 PLL Frequency Mod Diagrams
your connections before proceeding. Refer to the 8719 Channel Chart for your new
frequencies. Note : Some of the older MB8719 Chips have the dot marking on pin 18.
The newer MB8719 chips have the dot marking on pin 1. Regardless pin 1 is always the
first pin to the left of the indentation marking on one end.

COBRA 140GTL, 142GTL
1. Obtain a doublepole / 6 position rotary switch. Refer to the above diagram. Note
that pin 3 and pin 5 are tied together. Pins 1 and 4 are tied together. Pins 3A and
4A are tied together, and that pins 1A, 2A and 5A are also tied together. You will
need to solder small jumpers across the pins as shown. Next obtain a piece of 6 wire
ribbon wire and wire to the switch as shown in the above diagram. Be sure to use a
long enough piece of wire to reach from the switch to the PLL once the switch is
installed in its permanent location. Note which color of wire goes to the switch
pins in order to make it easier when connecting the other end to the PLL chip.
2. Next using an XActo carefully cut and isolate Pin 10 and Pin 12 of the MB8119
PLL chip. Be sure to isolate just these PLL pins. Once this has been done connect
the wire from the switch to the correct locations as shown in the above diagram, and
mount the switch. Refer to the channels on the next page and check each position of
the switch for these channels. You will probably find that some do not match. If
this is the case you will need to carefully adjust L18 (Tripler Can) until all
channels are there there. This is a very critical adjustment in order for this
modification to work without changing the 11.1125 xtal. Usually just a small amount
is needed.

1. Install a SPDT/Center Off toggle switch in a convenient location.
Locate Pin 11 of the MB8719 PLL Chip. Take note that the dot on the
top side of this chip is on Pin 18, not Pin 1 as usual. Working from
the foil side of the board, make a small cut on the land that connects
pin 11 to the circuit board. Make sure that you totally isolate just
this pin.
2. Install a 4.7K resistor across this cut as shown in the above
illustration. Using 3 wire ribbon, solder each end to the switch and
carefully solder the corresponding end to the locations as shown. Make
sure that the center wire of the switch connects to pin 11, the bottom
wire to pin 9, and the top wire connects to board ground. Some slight
adjusting of the VCO Coil (L18) may be necessary to pop these channels
in.

MB8719 Rotary Switch
Cobra 2000 GTL
1. Obtain a Double Pole/ 6 Position Rotary Switch. Be sure to get the Break Before
Make type. You will also need 2 small signal diodes (1N914, 1N4148 or Equivalent), a
piece of 5 wire ribbon cable long enough to reach from the switch to the PLL chip
connections, and 1 4.7k 1/4 watt resistor. Also if the MB8734 has not been changed
to an MB8719, you will need to change it before proceeding. Next solder the diodes
to the switch as shown in the diagram above. Be sure that the cathode ends (Banded)
are as shown once you have completed this step. The diode that connects between Pin
4 & Pin 5 should have the banded end to Pin 4 and the diode the connects between Pin
1 & Pin 4 should be the same.
2. Next locate Pin 14 of the PLL and using an exacto knife carefully isolate Pin
14. Next solder the 4.7k resistor across this cut in order to allow Pin 14 to
operate at its normal state. Once this has been done you may connect the ribbon
cable to switch prior to mounting the switch in it's permanent location. Be sure
that the wires are connected as shown in the above diagram. Once that you have
mounted the switch you may then make the connections to the PLL chip as shown above.
Recheck all your connections before turning the unit on . The channel chart on the
next page shows your new frequencies. Check all positions of the switch for these
channels. Some adjustment of the VCO, coil (L19) may be necessary in some cases for
full channel coverage.

MB8734 REPLACED WITH MB8719
Tram D80 et al:
1. The TRAM D80 came from the factory with a MB8734 PLL chip installed . The above
modification will work after changing this chip to an MB8719 PLL chip. Procedure is
to carefully unsolder and remove the MB8734 chip, taking special note to how it was
installed. The MB8719 is a direct replacement and on the older radios has pin 18
marked with a dot the same as the MB8734 chip. However please note that some of the
newer radios have the dot on pin 1 of the MB8719 chip. So be very careful, be sure
the new chip is installed properly. We recommend that you use a 18 pin IC socket to
install the new MB8719 chip. Once that you are sure that you that you have the new
http://kg4zpn.netai.net/cb/pllfreqmods.htm 18/31
9/4/2015 PLL Frequency Mod Diagrams
MB8719 chip installed correctly, and that the radio works properly , then you may
proceed with the above modification.
2. Mount 2 SPST Toggle switches in a convenient location . Be sure to wire the
switches up as shown and to solder each wire carefully.
3. Now with both switches in the down position you will still have the normal
channels. Refer to the 8719 Channel chart above for the switch positions and their
associated channels.
MB8734 REPLACED WITH MB8719
Tram D300, Realistic TRC490 et al:
1. Unsolder and replace the MB8734 PLL IC with a new MB8719 IC Chip. Use an IC
socket when replacing any Integrated Circuit for safety. Refer to the diagram above,
and locate pin 10 of the newly installed MB8719 PLL chip. Notice that it is
connected to ground. Make a small cut and totally isolate this pin from ground. You
will need to isolate both sides of pin 10, and then connect a jumper across these
cuts in order to tie just the two ground sides back together. (Do not reconnect Pin
10). Make sure that once this has been done that pin 10 is totally isolated. Next,
turn the radio on and check to make sure that you have all of the normal channels
and that the frequencies are correct before proceeding. If necessary adjust CT3 for
USB first, then L19 for LSB, and L20 for Am while the clarifier is set to center
slot. {This conversion is basically the same as the conversions for the Cobra 2000.}
2. Next mount your switches and wire them up as shown in illustration above. Be sure
to check all of your
connections before proceeding. Refer to the 8719 Channel Chart above for your new
frequencies.
Note : Some of the older MB8719 Chips have the dot marking on pin 18. The newer
MB8719 chips have the dot marking on pin 1. Regardless pin 1 is always the first pin
to the top of the indentation marking on one end when viewed from the bottom side of

1.Unsolder the brown & red wires from the NB switch. Now solder these
two wires together, and seal with heat shrinkable tubing. This will
allow your Noise Blanker to be in the on position at all times. Next
unsolder the Brown wire & Gray wire from the ANL switch. Seal the
unsoldered ends with heat shrinkable tubing. Do not solder the Brown
wire and the gray together. Again this will allow your ANL circuit to
be on at all times. Next unsolder the Orange wire and the Red wire
from the RF Gain switch. Solder these two wires together and seal this
connection with heat shrinkable tubing. Next unsolder the two red
wires from the Brite & Dim switch. Again solder these two wires
together and seal up with heat shrinkable tubing. This will allow the
brite circuit to be on at all times. Next remove the 470 ohm resistor
from the Brite & Dim switch.
(if your rig does not have the same switches as the Palomar SSB500,
simple mount 4 SPST switches in a convenient location)
2. Once the above step has been completed, proceed to wire the

1.) Remove both radio covers and unplug the speaker wires from the circuit board.
Next isolate the circuit board run that connects pin 11 of IC7 to Pin 12 of IC5
(MC145106 PLL). Using an xacto knife, carefully cut and isolate Pin 12 of IC5 as
shown in the diagram above.
2.) After you have completely isolated Pin 12 of IC5, solder a 4.7K 1/4 Watt
resistor from Pin 12 of 1C5 to circuit board ground as shown above. Next mount a
SPST toggle switch in any convenient location and wire as shown above.
3.) Recheck all connections and plug speaker wire in before applying power. Sec the
chart below for your new 25MHz channels.

shown from the component side, however you could also perform this conversion from
the circuit board side instead.
2.) Next mount a SPST toggle switch in any convenient location and wire as shown
above, being careful not to short any other pins of IC7 with a solder bridge while
soldering the wires from the SPST switch.
3.) Recheck all connections and plug speaker wire in before applying power. See the
chart below for your new 29MHz channels.

Once you have the radio apart you will need to unsolder the metal
cover in order to expose the pins on PLL chip ( SM5104 ). Next make
all needed cuts and add the 4.7K resistor from pin 8 board ground. Be
sure the wire leads do not short to any other pins or connections.
Next mount your rotary switch in any suitable location. Wire the
switch as shown above.
Be sure to add the IN4148 or 1 N914 signal diode from pint to pin 4 of
the rotary switch. Cathode (banded end) connects to pin 4. Jumper pins
2A, 3A, 4A, & 5A together.
Some slight adjustment may of T302 (VCO) may be needed in order to
cover all channels. T302 is located just behind the PLL chip. Be sure
to use only a square plastic tool when adjusting this can. The coils
break easily and it is very difficult to find replacements.

1. Mount a DPDT/Center Off switch in a convenient location.
2. Locate the small 2" square metal plate that is soldered to the bottom of the
circuit board. Locate the pins of the 5080 PLL IC that are located just to the right
of this plate. After you have located Pins 5, 6, 7 and 8, carefully solder a wire to
each pin. Make sure to use enough wire to easily reach your switch.
3. Solder the opposite end of each wire to the correct position of your switch.
Check to make sure that your channels are right. With the switch in the center
position you will have normal channels. This modification allows you to go from
channel 41 to channel 58 without any skips.

wire goes to Pin 13. Carefully unsolder the green wire from Pin 8. Next remove the
excess solder from
the Pin 8 land with some solder wick. Once this is done make a small cut with an ex
acto knife in order to
isolate just Pin 8 of the 5080 PLL. Be sure to totally isolate this pin. Next
carefully solder a 100k 1/4watt
resistor from Pin 8 to ground. Now resolder the green wire to the other side of the
cut.
2. Next mount 2 SPST toggle in a convenient location. Be sure to orient the poles of
the two switches as
shown in the above diagram. Next using some 4 wire ribbon cable connect the switches
to the circuit
board as shown in the above diagram. Be sure to check for any solder bridges that
may have occurred
while soldering the wires to the PLL chip. Once completed your conversion should
match the diagram
above. Refer to the 5080 Channel Chart below for your new frequencies.

1. Locate the metal plate on the bottom of the board which covers the upD861.
Carefully bend up the tabs in order to remove and to expose the board underneath.
This plate will need to be reinstalled once the conversion is completed.
2. Notice that Pin 7,8,12 are all tied to the VCC+ (6.2V Supply). Using an exacto
knife, carefully cut the circuit board in order to totally isolate pin 7 of the PLL
chip. Next solder a 4.7k resistor across this cut. This will allow Pin 7 to still
operate at it's normal state.
3. Next mount a DPDT/Center Off toggle switch in a convenient location. Following
the diagram above,vwire the switch to the radio circuit board as shown. Once
completed recheck all connections. If all the channels are not present as shown
below, some slight adjustment of T802 (VCO) and T803 (37 MHz Can) may be required in
order to pop them all in.
