Midland 75822 Channel Mod: Enhancing Communication Capabilities

None of these require soldering on a fragile PLL.

Important Disclaimer:

Modifying your radio to operate on frequencies outside the standard 40 CB channels (such as "freebanding") is illegal in the United States (FCC regulations) and many other countries. It can cause interference to legitimate services (like RC controllers, pagers, or emergency comms) that operate on those frequencies.

1. FCC Enforcement: While rare for a single user, "bootleg" transmissions on 27.555 MHz (Freeband) are actively monitored at truck stops and near airports. A complaint from a Ham operator can trigger a visit.
2. Interference: You may bleed over into police, fire, or aviation bands if your VCO shielding is poor.
3. Radio Damage: If the VCO unlocks while transmitting, you will lose the PLL lock, and your final transistor (2SC1969 or MRF477) can melt down instantly.
4. Resale Value: A modded radio is worth less to a collector. Drilling holes for switches destroys the classic look.
