Restore the Cellular Freqs. on Your BC200/205XLT!
|
||
|
||
This is so simple that anyone can do it, and you have to be
|
||
REAL sloppy in order to damage your unit.
|
||
|
||
There is no soldering involved, but if you do happen to mess your
|
||
unit up: YOU AND ONLY YOU ARE THE ONE THAT IS RESPONSIBLE. We take no
|
||
responsiblity for any thing that might become of you or your radio!
|
||
|
||
This mod. will also void your warranty, so open your radio and
|
||
check it out to make sure you can pull it off before you begin the real
|
||
work.
|
||
|
||
Now that we are through with the usual backwash of "spooky"
|
||
information we can now begin.
|
||
|
||
|
||
1.) Take the antenna and battery pack off of the radio.
|
||
|
||
2.) With a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the two screws at the
|
||
back of the radio. Then remove the two screws and the battery
|
||
spring at the base of the radio.
|
||
|
||
3.) GENTLELY! pull off the back of the radio.
|
||
|
||
4.) Locate the two screws at the bottom of the board, and
|
||
carefully remove them with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
|
||
(Be carefull not to damage any of the surrounding components.
|
||
This is not to tough to avoid, but warrants mentioning.)
|
||
|
||
5.) EVER-SO-GENTLELY! pull the front panel away from the scanner
|
||
frame.
|
||
|
||
6.) On the front panel part of the radio, locate the microprocessor
|
||
IC (labeled UNIDEN UC-1147, its the biggest black chip on the
|
||
board) and the 10K ohm (brown-black-orange) resistor positioned
|
||
right above the letters "DEN" in the word "UNIDEN" on the IC.
|
||
|
||
***** MAKE SURE YOU LOCATE THE RIGHT PART *****
|
||
|
||
7.) With a small pair of clippers, clip the resistor right in two.
|
||
Make sure not to disturb any components around the resistor.
|
||
Leave the ends of the resistor on the board, all you need to
|
||
do is just clip it enough so that there is a gap between the two
|
||
ends. Take care to clean the remiments, made by cutting the
|
||
resistor, of the board.
|
||
|
||
8.) Check to see that there is no damage and everything is tidy.
|
||
|
||
9.) CAREFULLY reasemble the radio in exactly the reverse order of
|
||
how you took it apart. Be careful to line up the pins to their
|
||
sockets in the lower, left-hand side of the radio.
|
||
|
||
***** FAILURE TO DO THIS CORRECTLY WILL RESULT IN A DISPLAY
|
||
ERROR. WHEN THE RADIO IS TURNED ON NOTHING WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN.
|
||
|
||
don't panic.
|
||
I've done this before. The malfunction can be fixed by taking
|
||
the radio back apart, carefully, and making sure those pins are
|
||
in the correct socket. I almost gave birth to a small cow when this
|
||
happened to me and I was very relived to find out that this was all
|
||
that was wrong.
|
||
|
||
10.) After you have tightened the screws, put the battery pack and
|
||
the antenna back on the radio. Then press "MANUAL, 845.0, E".
|
||
Within two seconds the freq 845.000 should pop up on the display.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Now you have completed the mod. for your scanner. I would now like
|
||
to welcome you to the world of the forrbiden freqs.! You will now
|
||
see the truth to the statement "Never say anything on a cellular
|
||
phone that you do not want anyone else to hear." Unfortunately
|
||
(but fortunately for us!!) there is an incredible number of people
|
||
that do not know this and you will be suprised at the information
|
||
broadcast across the airwaves.
|
||
|
||
Enjoy!
