Bearcat 760XLT mods

Concerning the Uniden Bearcat 760xlt, the mod for the 950xlt does work
|
||
to restore lost freq. Disconnect pin 20 of the microprocessor from the
|
||
circuit board and connect it to pin 19. I bent the pin slightly and cut
|
||
it with the scissors of a swiss army knife then soldered an 1/8 lead
|
||
cut from a cap across the pins near the top of the chip. I've yet to
|
||
find any problem with this mod. But as always do so at your own risk.

|
||
THE FOLLOWING "MAGICAL" MODIFICATION WILL ALLOW RECEPTION OF CELLUAR PHONE
|
||
BAND ON A BEARCAT 760XLT. NOTE- THIS MODIFICATION SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY
|
||
SOMEONE VERY FAMILIAR WITH ELECTRONIC COMPONETS. THIS WILL ALSO VOID
|
||
YOUR WARRANTY. AUTHOR ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER.
|
||
|
||
1- Disconnect power cord from wall outlet, remove the four screws
|
||
holding the bottom cover on. Remove bottom cover carefully, speaker
|
||
wires are attached.
|
||
|
||
2- Locate the large 64 pin microprocessor chip near front of the radio.
|
||
Noting the indented dot which marks pin one, count along row to pin
|
||
20. Cut that pin close to the circuit board so if you ever want you
|
||
could tack solder it back together.
|
||
|
||
Chip im my unit has following numbers:
|
||
7D3
|
||
HD 40740085
|
||
JAPAN
|
||
|
||
3- tTemporarily reconnect power to the radio and attempt to program 845.000
|
||
Mhz., confirming cellur band restoration. Frequencies may be entered in
|
||
12.5 Khz, not 30 Khz, increments.
|
||
|
||
4- This completes the magical instructions, disconnect power, reassemble
|
||
scanner in reverse order. Rember performing this magic voids your
|
||
warranty, not to mention the fact it is illegal and if the King's
|
||
"henchmen" catch you, you mab be severely fined or maby even thrown into
|
||
dungeon.

Subj: BC950 CMT
|
||
Newest from Uniden/Bearcat, the BC950 XLT (also know as the BC780XLT) can be
|
||
modified for CMT coverage. Cut pin 20 of the main CPU at the PCB and lift it.
|
||
Then solder a bridge between pins 19 and 20. This will restore CMT coverage.
|
||
PROBLEM: If you have the CTCSS option installed, you will not be able to turn
|
||
it off! (The CTCSS option, that is.) If this is OK with you, then go for it,
|
||
otherwise consider which you need more, CMT or CTCSS! Also, the only known
|
||
difference between the two aforementioned scanners is that the 950 is labeled
|
||
(on the box) "Scanner World". Have fun!

|
||
cellular restoration
|
||
|
||
restores 825-845 and 870-890 mhz on models manufactured during 1989
|
||
(HI code date suffix) or later (bnc antenna connectors).
|
||
|
||
1. with power cord disconnected, remove the four cover screws. remove the
|
||
top cover only.
|
||
|
||
2. locate the SANYO ic (printed upside down with the front of the
|
||
radio facing you). a long row of solder pads just above the ic identifies
|
||
pins 1-32 of the microprocessor. pin 1 is the left most pad and pin 32 is
|
||
the right most pad. your mod will involve pins 19,20,26 and 27.
|
||
|
||
3. using a sharp pointed tool, cut the two traces leading to pin 26.
|
||
(both above and below).
|
||
|
||
4. solder-bridge pins 26 and 27 together.
|
||
|
||
5. solder-bridge one end of a 1/2" wire across the two vacant solder pads
|
||
adjacent to pins 19 and 20 (short the pins). solder the other end of
|
||
this wire to just opposite pin 26 (the other side of the cut trace and
|
||
the solder bridge you installed in step 4.
|
||
|
||
6. insert the power cord, turn the unit on, press MANUAL, 845., E; if
|
||
845.000 appears, the mod was sucessful. Reassemble. If ERROR appears,
|
||
recount the pins you modified and check the cut traces and solder
|
||
bridges.
