Modification an lafayette hb-850 11m radio to 10 meter

Post by peter »

hello want to Modification my Lafayette hb-850 am/fm 11m radio
to run on the 10 meter band, it will be switch enable by 10meter and 11meter think it is only to change the Christalle in the radio.
the Christalle's who are sitting there are( x2=10,240 x1=10,695 )
i can not find more Christalle's in the radio.
if you know about witch Christalle i need to change pleace
reply me

Hi Peter and welcome to the forum.
Your Lafayette HB-850 is using a Cybernet chassis but what is the PCB number it should start something like PTBM ??????? and is the PLL a PLL02A.

hello the PLL chip is an PLL02A0.
and the ptbm is PTBM094COX.

The only way you can do this is to make loop oscillator circuit with 2 or 3 crystals. One crystal of 20.480 MHz, which will give you 26.965 to 27.405 CB band, one crystal of 21.520 MHz for the bottom of 10 meters 28.005 to 28.445 MHz and if you used a 3rd crystal of 21.970 MHz which will give you 28.455 to 28.895 MHz.

The above method is using direct loop oscillator or you could use Doubler loop oscillator method, which would use the following crystals

10.240 MHz = 26.965 to 27.405 MHz
10.760 MHz = 28.005 to 28.445 MHz
10.985 MHz = 28.455 to 28.895 MHz

If you can find the loop oscillator board from a PTBM121D4X chassis the board number is PTOS110A0X this would make the conversion easy to do.

Take a look at this diagram and you will see how it is done.
