 HOW TO CHANGE THE TRS CHALLENGER,

MODELS 850 AND 1400, TO AMATEUR RADIO BAND (10M)

On expanding channels from 28.505 MHz to 28.945 MHz or from 28.960 MHz to
29.400 MHz.

1, Replace crystals of 16.27 MHz and 16.273 MHz with 17.81 MHz and 17.813
MHz.

2. Tune up the coils.

DETAILS

Replace crystals of 16.27 MHz and 16.273 MHz with 17.81 MHz and 17.813 MHz.

Replace crystals presently installed on the PLL Unit, 16.27 MHz (Xl) and
16.273 MHz (X2) with 17.81 MHz and 17.813 MHz. If you use USB only, re­
placement is only the crystal 16.273 MHz with 17.81 MHz. (See figure 1 and
2).

Tue up

After changing above crystals, the coils should then be tuned.

PLL UNIT

1. Prepare the tester and connect it between test point 2 (TP2) and any minus
(-) ground (earth). Next, set to channel 1 position - the tester range
should be 2 - 10 Volts (DC).
”L2” should be tuned up as the tester indicates 2 Volts. As you are tuning
up the coil, the channels should be checked individually 1 thru 40 so that
as the coil is being tuned, the tester will show a balanced change from 2
Volts to about 4.5 Volts (DC) on each of the channels, (see figure 3).

2. Put your Model 850 or 1400 in AM and TX mode. Then while watching the
power meter tune up the coils T1 and L3. This is to be done carefully so
as to increase the Out Put Level on your power meter.

TRANSMITTER

Put your Model 850 or 1400 in AM mode and RX mode. Then follow the same
procedures as discribed in above, matching the power meter and tuning up
the following coils so as to increase the power; Tl, LI, L14, T2, T3, L2,
L5, L10. (See figure 5).

RECEIVER

Put your Model 850 or 1400 in AM mode and RX mode. Then by listening to
the set noise, tune up the following coils so as to increase the set noise;
T4, T5/T6. (figure 6)

HOW TO CHANGE THE TRS CHALLENGER (CONTINUED)

CAUTION

*Each of the coils are locked tightly in place by a special glue. So before
you tune up these coils, you should try to remove this glue. Take care in
turning the core of the coil as it is very sesitive.

*Selecting for the Band desired, either from 28.505 to 28.945 MHz or from
28.960 MHz to 29.400 MHz is your choice and that choice is determined by
connecting one lead of the IC to earth or not as shown in figure 7.

HOW TO MODIFY MODEL 850 and 1400

1. Channel Expansion

You can get more channels 27.420 to 27.860 by modifing. This modification
needs one SW

2. To make the claifier more effective both in mode TX and RX proceed as follows.

A. Remove two wires (Model 850 - two blue wires. Model 1400 - Red and White
wires) from tap of clarifier volume. Two wires must be connected to­
gether after removed and then insulated where connected.

B. Connect a wire between +8V and the vacant tap where two wires were re­
moved.

C. Disconnect (Model 850 - the brown wire on TX-RX control, Model 1400
-two yellow wires on TX-RX control and connect them together), which
are located in the front part of the PLL Unit.

D. Remove 15pF disc capacitor (C-8) located next to CV1 variable capacitor.
(C-8 is marked as C-9 on a circuit board on Model 850).

E. Set clarifier control to center range. Adjust CV1 by using a frequency

counter for center frequency on a selected channel.

3. 5KHz down of expanded channel

If you want to bring expanded channel frequency (27.420 to 27,860) down to

5KHz (27.415 to 27.855) you need the following:

Two contact double switches

Two resistors 3.9K Ohm
Two capacitors 0.02u
Two crystals 16.265, 16.268
Two diodes (any kind of RF diode)

The instructions for installation is shown on the following page.

 HOW TO MODIFY MODEL 850 and 1400

CHANNEL EXPANSION, POWER AND SLIDE MODIFICATION

1. PLL IC 1 (Pll 2)

Cut the PC Board on pins 9-10-11 with a xacto knife and isolate them
as close to the IC as possible. Install a 3K b across each cut. In­
stall a IN914 on Pin 11 & 10 anode towards the IC pin and tye the
cathodes together. Install 2 Sincle Pie Single Throw Switches and run
a wire from one side of the switch to ground. Connect the other side
of one switch to the cathode of the diodes that run from pin IH10.
Run wire from pin 9 of the IC to the other switch. This completes the
Channel Expansion.

2. Slide cut D5 - Cut R24. Install a 18PF in place of C17 33PF. Run a
wire from the unused terminal on VR4 to the wiper of the squelch
control. This will allow -2 and +8 KHZ.

3. RV12 adjust for max AM Mod with 1000 HZ tone & R204. RV2 & RV11
adjust with two tone source for max power.

4. Install a 12GN7 tube in place of VT201 12BY7/. Install a 6y6

in place of VT202 6DG6 tube, short R31O 1.5 KHz resistor with
a jumper wire. Adjust L201-C903 for max AM power with 1000Hz
tone on peak reading meter. This modification will allow ap­
proximately 35W SSB.

EXPORT MODIFICATIONS FOR THE STONER PRO - 40

It may be desireable to incorporate the following modifications to the

Stoner Pro-40 when the equipment is exported to foreign countries. It is
not legal to make these changes in domestic equipment since it will void the
FCC Type Acceptance.

HF Channels - It is possible to increase the frequency coverage of the

Stoner Pro-40 up to 27.865 MHz by simply grounding pin 5 of connector P501.
This connector is directly aft of the clarifier potentiometer and pin 5 is
the 6th pin from the front of the radio.

A popular conversion consists of using the headphone jack for frequency

changing. This can be accomplished in the following manner:

1. Disconnect the wires from the headphone jack, connect them together and
insulate them.

2. Remove the 100 ohm resistor from the headphone jack.

3. Connect a wire from the ’’hot” connection of the headphone jack to pin 5 of
connector P501. (This wire should be as short as possible to avoid picking
up stray voltages that may cause the PLL to unlock in high frequency operation.
A shielded cable is ideal. Connect the shield to the ground lug on the head­
phone jack and terminate the other end to float.)

4. Prepare a shorted headphone plug. When inserted in the headphone jack,

the upper register of channels will be selected. This conversion will also
place an ”H” on the digital display where the hyphen is on low frequency usage.

Frequency Control System - The clarifier diode connects to the arm of the
clarifier potentiometer and the arm of the transmit frequency adjust potentio­
meter via two gating diodes located on the front panel circuit board. On
receive, plus 9 volts is applied to the ’’top end” of the clarifier pot. On
transmit, this voltage goes to zero and plus 9 volts is applied to the ’’top
end” of the transmit adjust pot. The ’’bottom end” of both potentiometers is
grounded. Connected in this manner, the clarifier functions on receive only
and the transmit frequency adjustment affects only the transmit frequency.

Clarifier Tune, Receive and Transmit - The clarifier control circuit can
be modified to function on both receive and transmit modes in the following
manner:

1. Clip the top end of the clarifier potentiometer at the point where it enters
the circuit board. Note it requires a very this cutter to clip this lug with­
out cracking the carbon element of the pot. (Some units may have a black wire
at this pint or a piece of solid conductor wire instead of the potentiometer
lug in the circuit board. The point to cut is the lug with plus 9 volts on it
during receive.

2. Connect the top of the clarifier control to the plus 9 volt circuit. A
convenient point is located on the center lug of the USB/LSB switch nearest
the electrolytic capacitor.

3. Turn the transmit frequency adjustment potentiometer (R-403) full clock­

wise so it does not affect the frequency of operation.

52

www.hardtlmez99.com
 These two modifications will allow operation up to 27.865 MHz without
missing any channels by tuning the clarifier.

Split Frequency Operation - Some users like separate control of the receiver
and transmitter frequency. This is extremely useful when someone is causing in­
tentional interference. By operating on two split frequencies, the inter­
ference can bother one station or the other, but not both. Usually, the in­
terfering station gives up when his efforts are not immediately successful.
The split frequency modification can be accomplished as follows:

1. Do not modify the clarifier as described in the previous section. This

control will continue to adjust the receive frequency.

2. Clip the top end and center (or arm) connections of the RF Gain control
potentiometer. Use caution not to crack the carbon element to the potentio­
meter.

3. The ‘ two ’’stumps” sticking up from the front panel board must be soldered
together or the receiver will not function.

4. Set the transmit frequency adjust potentiometer to the exact center of its
mechanical range.

5. Connect a wire from the center (or arm) of the transmit frequency adjust­
ment potentiometer to the center (or arm) of the former RF Gain control.

6. Connect a wire from the top end of the transmit frequency adjustment
potentiometer to the top end of the former RF Gain control.

This completes the conversion. The former RF Gain control will now adjust the
transmit frequency. The adjustment of the former RF Gain control will be
critical since only 270° or rotation covers lOKHz. However, the transmit
frequency can be set very accurately with the aid of the frequency counter.

Cut foil between pins *7,8,9,10 and 11. Add 3k resistors across breaks in
foil. Place one diode (in34/in60) anode side to pin 10 and one to pin 11.
Join the cathode sides together.

The Cybernet units that utilize the 02A chip will not spread over the entire
frequency range without broad banding. These units will spread an average of

www.hardtlmez99.oom
1500kc. I have tried many experiments in broadbanding, and have only found
one way, which is very costly and requires extensive modifications and additions
to the unit. I will enclose this modification on a separate paper.
*Pin 7 is connected to ground on both sides of the pin. The foil must be cut
on both sides.

3. Broadbanding Cybernet 02A units.

This modifacation should not be attempted unless you are willing to spend
a lot of time and money ($25.00).

1. Remove VCO Block from unit.

2. Mount original VCO Block and second VCO * Block on a small piece of
perf-board.

3. Mount a 12 volt relay in a convinent location and wire so the relay

will switch the VCO blocks back and forth.

4. At 27.595 tune one VCO for highest wattage. Check the unit at 28.235
and at 26.965 to assure, it is transmitting on frequency.

5. At 26.325 tune the 2nd VCO block for watts. Check unit again at 26.955
and 25.675.

6. Realign transmit section of unit at 26.955.

Instructions For Grounding A Mobile Unit

1) Your power cord is not sufficent for an RF ground. A separate cable must
be used. Beldon 8663 may be used or you may strip the shielding from an
old piece of coax. A length of hook up wire will not work for the RF ground.
The thing you must remember about RF is that it travels on the surface of the
conductor and you must have a large surface to conduct RF.

2) Rust and oxidation will not pass RF because it is on the surface of the ma­
terial. All connections must be Rust free and clean. Remember rust and
oxides disrupt RF pathes and ground connections.

3) The antenna must have a ground plain of 108 sq. in. to work properly.

4) You cannot measure RF ground with an ohm meter. A special RF bridge must be
used.

5) The rule of thumb is that if it is clean and bright, it is a good RF ground.

6) All insulated joints such as hood, trunk and side mirrors must have a
ground strip to the car body.

7) Silicon or zinc oirtment will help oxidation from causing you trouble with
your antenna by helping prevent it from getting started.

COBRA 62XLR

SUBJECT: Squelch Transistors TR-8 and TR-9 Shorting on the 62XLR

SYMPTON: No Squelch

SOLUTION: Cut the foil pattern between the base of the TR-8 and the
junction of D-12, C-17.

Add a Ik, i watt resistor across the cut pattern, so the

resistor is in series with the base circuit of TR-8.

ADJUSTMENTS : None required

COBRA 142GTL

SUBJECT: Reduction of AC hum on the 142CTL

SYMPTOM: AC hum in audio. Most noticeable when customer is using

headphones or external speaker at low volume.

SOLUTION : Unsolder black ground wire (from cable harness) at power

supply board. Remove small tie wrap which wraps red & Black
wires together. Pass black ground lead through large chassis
hold and resolder directly to negative terminal of filter
capacitor C-304 on bottom of power supply board. Negative
terminal faces front of unit.

L. Turn the unit upside down with the front toward you.

2. Remove the 5pf disc capacitor that is connected between the VFO input
(SO-239) and pin #2 of the oscillator tube socket.

3. Remove the 470K 2 watt resistor that is connected to pin #1 of the

oscillator tube socket and the first lug of the 5 terminal strip.

4. A. Disconnect the brown wire where it is connected to pin #7 of the

antenna relay and reconnect it to pin #4 of the antenna relay.

B. Solder a piece of #18 or larger copper wire from the VFO input
(SO-239) to pin #7 pin of the antenna (wire should be as short
as possible).

5. Starting at the top of the tank coil (lead control) on left hand end)
brifge solder from the end of the coil across one air gap to the first
full turn and then across the second air gap to the second full turn.

6. Unit is now ready to load.

D AND A 500 TRIPLE CONVERSION

Locate coil between load and tune knob and bridge with solder across two
turns starting where the coil starts (at either end). Not in the middle
of a turn.

Next locate coil between drivertune and load and do the same, then locate
wire going from VFO output (so239 on back of unit) to a tube socket. This
wire should contain a .001 Capacitor. Completely remove this wire.

Next locate the relays between the so239 connectors on the back side. There
should be a brown wire going from the relay and going to the 2nd lug on a 5
lug strip. Cut this wire at the strip. Shorten the wire and attach it to
the VFO output so239.

CUSTOMERS AND DEALERS -

You will probably find all kinds of claims about Radar Detectors across
the country - some good and some ridiculous.

After lining the dash with several units and trying them out myself, I
personally chose the Stalker XK, made in Canada for Teaberry. The Stalker
out performed all units on the market in both short range and long range
radar. As a store dealer, I usually keep one or two other brands in stock
and then sell up to the Stalker XK.

Try this hot little unit, I think you will be surprised!
