Electronic 6-position
Crystal Switch

For all PLL type CB radios using a simple crystal local oscillator in the synthesizer mixer circuit. Also for crystal-synthesized radios.

The EXPANDER 240 has all the features of the EXPANDER 160, but without the oscillator function (not needed for many conversions) and now with 6 crystal positions. This saves you money and simplifies modifications in CB radios that don’t require an external oscillator signal. Examples: all 23-channel crystal-synthesized radios, Cobra 140/142GTL type, Cobra 148/2000/2010GTL type, Uniden Grant XL, etc. Other applicable PLL types include the CPI chassis, HD42851, LC7110, LC7113, M58472P, M58473P, MB8719, MB8734, MC145106, MSM5907, NIS7161A, NIS7264B, PLL02A, REC86345, SM5104, TC5080, TC9102, µPD858 (AM-only), and µPD861 (binary AM-only).

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Due to the large number of crystal frequencies and mounting possibilities, the crystals and the hardware switch are not included in either kit.
2. The following PLL circuits can’t be modified with these devices: C5121, LC7130, LC7131, LC7132, LC7136, LC7137, LC7185, LC7232, LC7234, MB8733, SM5123A, SM5124A, SM5125AM, SM5125B,TC9105, TC9106, TC9109, TC9119.
3. Installation should only be done by a qualified technician with access to the radio’s service manual or schematic.
