Uniden 810e Driver and Final Transistor Replacement

THIS IS UNTESTED i don't have this rig sorry

Required Parts:
2pcs ERF-2030
1pc EN-369DR
1pc EN-369FN
1pc 1000pF ceramic disc capacitor
1pc 33K ohm, 1/2 watt resistor
1pc 470K ohm, 1/2 watt resistor
Heatsink Compound


1 Remove Final
2 Remove Driver
3 Remove L29
4 Remove L32
5 Remove C143
6 Remove C211 NOTE: Is on back of PCB @ finel 470P/UJ
7 Remove C145
8 Remove C202
9 Remove C180

10 Replace both Final and Driver with ERF-2030s. Note: ERF-2030 mounts identically to the Ones you removed

11 Add 33K ohm resistor (1/2 watt) (solder side of PCB) from ERF-2030 gate leg of Final to the end of R170 that is closest to the face of the radio

12 Add 470K ohm resistor (1/2 watt)(solder side of PCB) from ERF-2030 gate leg of Driver to the right leg of VR9 that is closest to the face of the radio

(NOTE: BOTTOM VIEW OF PCB The ERF-2030's Gate is the Right most leg and the Source is the Left most leg)
(Note: insulate the leads of the resistor from the surrounding traces using heat shrink tubing.)



13 Add 1000pF ceramic disc capacitor across C146 (solder side of PCB) NOTE: keep C146 470Pf in place..

14 Install EN-369FN at Final (solder side of PCB). Solder the positive lead (+) to the ERF-2030 gate.
Solder the negative lead (unmarked) to the ERF-2030 source.

15 Install EN-369DR at Driver (solder side of PCB). Solder the positive lead (+) to the ERF-2030 gate.
Solder the negative lead (unmarked) to the ERF-2030 source

be sure to check all work!!! and go over your Schematics and PCB Layout.

I hope this helps 617

Hi 817,

About to do this mod on a PC122, using 520 mosfets, we will see if you are right, and I do think you are,

Cheers Pirate

What other kinds of mods have u found for the royce 640? i just got one and its a sharp looking radio. but cant find much on it but a old flyer that said it cost almost 500 bucks back in the day.
