Midland 75-822 75-820 Mod 120ch

[cell21633]

Midland 75-822 seems to have the same PCB layout as the 75-820. So the same 120ch modification can be done to it. Verified by me, 1-40ch low, 1-40ch cb, 1-40ch high.

For educational uses only. :wink:

Anyone aware of other capabilities of the unit?

No idea what you're talking about, be more specific please...

He modified his radio so he gets the "uppers and lowers" as they call them. Essentially he now has a switch(es) on his radio that allows him to switch between 3 different sets of 40 frequencies, one of those sets of course being the plain old CB channels. Some people use these ranges because it's a lot quieter when the skip conditions are in or simply for extra privacy. I should probably say that this is known as "freebanding" and is illegal. That being said, I've used them before and it's really no big deal. They're over-rated, but the idea is neat.

10-4, got it now, but personally all I need my CB to do is to allow me to listen (and talk) to other drivers (truckers of course) on the road and that's ch 19, for private talk, no time for such thing, too busy with my job plus got the XM to keep me going :wink:

found out the midland 75-822 and 75-820 uses similar pcb's as the cobra 45wx. guess what the 45wx can do? hold down the function key for about 3 sec and the channel display switches to a pseudo frequency counter!

yes, the 75-822 does it too!




neato!

Ok. So is there like anyone to talk to on those upper and lower frequencies?

[cell21633]

i've heard a few.. but i don't visit them very often, since most of the traffic is in the regular CB

I bought it from this retailer located in the Toronto area http://www.durhamradio.com/product.php?productid=43007

but take a look at Amazon.com: Midland 75-822 Handheld CB Radio with... in US$, also I've heard that Wal-Mart carries this handheld CB Radio, maybe your local Wal-Mart has it...
