Grant lt echo board question.
I have a Grant Lt and also a junk General lee. Can the echo board be taken out of the Lee and installed into the Grant and if so could you provide info on how to do it. I can do most things when it comes to a CB radio but i have never done an echo board install. Thanks!

Hi KM,
Sorry about the lack of enthusiasm.
Clear, complete instructions are a really big help when you're doing a procedure the first time.
Now, if somebody (else) were to shoot some pictures or sketch the locations of what will hook where, and write up the hookup details, that might be a safe "first time" mod to try.
Identifying the exact version of the echo board is a good place to start. Odds are that the echo board info can be found at cbtricks.com, under another brand radio that was made the same year.
And that's part of the info we lack so far. Saying that it's a "General Lee" is like "Ford F-100". From year to year, there are production changes.
But to put this radio and your (as yet) unknown echo board together can be done. The devil is in the details.
Starting with an ID of the echo board you have.
When you remove it from the General, keep the cables that plug into it. DON'T cut them close to the echo board.
And keep those mount brackets. They are by far the best way to mount it in the Grant LT. You may even find a pair of holes on the chassis' side rail that line up with them. It will need to go onto the same side as the mike socket. This keeps the connections short, and less likely to pick up unwanted RF feedback.
