Export Frequency Conversion

1. Remove the top cover and look at the circuit board on the back of the faceplate.
2. On this board you should see two pins SJ3 close to the CPU chip LC7232
3. Connect a jumer wire between the pins.
4. Once the channel modification has been done Power on the unit holding the EMG/CH19 button
remember to hold the button for about 5 seconds after power is applied
To change bands just press EMG/ CH19 button. The bands in
expanded mode are displayed near the channel indicator A-J.

CBS-1000 FACT SHEET Page 1 of 1

FACT SHEET

From Wireless Marketing Corp.

90% of the radios returned to us for service have failed as a result of people untrained in electronics tampering
with the radios. Most of the information available on how to get more out of your radio is passed on by people who
use the trial and error approach. They seldom understand the consequences or what they are doing.

Here is some REAL info on those consequences.

Quite a number of radios have come back to us with internal settings in the same position. These adjustments
have caused most of the failures seen on these radios.

First of all. The bias adjustment does not work like a volume control, it controls the idle current and centers the
signal in the amplifier so that neither the top or bottom of the signal is cut of and there is a minimum of DC current
flowing through the transistor so that it does not heat up wasting power that is not part of the output signal.
Virtually all of the radios returned for blown finals had this mis-adjusted.

Second, The bias on the driver transistor has a peak when it is set right. If it is turned too far it will lower the
output on the SSB signals. It is critical for good performance. SSB modulation cannot be set properly without
looking at the signal on an oscilloscope. Just turning things up while looking at a power meter will end up with a
signal that so badly garbled that people won't understand you. All of the sets returned for garbled SSB had this
turned all the way up.

Third, a common problem is losing RF gain control and then losing receive sensitivity. Radios that have had the
ALC ( called the "limiter" by people uneducated in any electronics school ) disabled put out such a chopped up
signal that the diode protection that turns off the receiver during transmit can't protect the input transistors. People
have been blowing out their own receivers by trying to get "more modulation".

Fourth and worst of all, some people have been adjusting, the power supply in an attempt to get more out of the
radio. It should be set for 13.7 volts. The front panel lamps are 14 volt bulbs, and if they are burning out it is a
good chance that this has been turned up. This is nothing compared to what is happening to the rest of the radio.
All of the transistors are being weakened and it is just a matter of time before your radio is good for nothing better
than a doorstep.

Think for a minute. Would you hold a rubber band in your teeth while somebody showed you how far lie could
stretch it before it broke? That is what you are doing when you do things or have them done to your radio. Most of
these "secrets" being circulated are pure hogwash. They are like those ads that tell you to send them money and
they will send you info on how to rig your car to use water as fuel. There are always consequences to any
modification or mis-adjustment . That is why any tampering voids the warranty.
