Thanks for this video. I bought a cobra 29 ltd classic on Ebay it has all these mods but they were not advertised on the ebay listing. I did not know what the Ch9 / Normal was until I just watched this. I have heard that sound while talking to others and did not know what it was on their radio.
@@bparker86 I try to respond to everyone, whether it's a comment or text message, especially when someone goes out of their way to thank me. Take care and 73
A heterodyne type VFO wind-up mod. The real deal. Neat stuff and it sounds cool. Thanks for posting I will refer others to this video. You are a time saver!!!! Thank you very much. 73s
Very cool video. I had all of the same questions about it also and you covered it. I need to see if I can talk my builder into installing one on my 148f hybrid that was one of his babies 😂 I like that good transmit Americana sound also. On a good skip day, it sounds like what a bunch of UFO’s landing on my roof would sound like through my 6k receive and cabinet 15 speaker. The house vibrates when the starships land 🤣
The MEMOREX VFO windup modification ensures 100% copy plus it is talk-back ready . Speaking of talk-back , consider adding playback also Talk-Back Pro offers a add on LCD and pin-hole camera so you can look at yourself as you speak to yourself on talk-back!!! WOW.. 73s
wow... and I thought that in 55 years of CB that I had seen every idiotic "mod".... "noise toys" being the worst along with echo.... but this wins the grand prize! making a stable pll controlled radio act like a 1960s poorly designed radio.
Do you do repairs too? My cobra 29 has a loose part in it and the audio quality on rx sounds like poo 💩 like a ringing noise hard to explain. I could replace it but had that radio since high school and now creeping into my mid 20s so I really like it
im still looking for the key up crunch sound. back in the early ninties guys on base stations in my area would never exactly reveal what it was but would say it had something to do with the d104 silver eagle type microphones.
Hi ya Fred I’m very frustrated because I’ve twiddled a knob or pressed a button I don’t know what. But I’ve got 2 frequencies in the memory but only one of them I’m getting m-01-01 next to the frequency where the vfo A should be. I just don’t know what I’ve done? Any ideas.
Lol all these haters cant run with the big boys on channel 6 superbowl so the call it dumb🤣😂 I guess they been getting keyed on with the vfo winding up on them! Lol, to funny, love how it comes in before the real power hits the frequency 👌 I got it on my chrome 29, use it in key down battles! They know when I key up
@@minibikemadman to be fair he probably won't just do a wind-up because he and I have spoken and he just doesn't feel right charging someone to only do a wind-up. There are many techs out there that charge what I consider steep prices for what's a relatively easy mod. If a radio is sent in to be tuned, the wind-up is added free of charge, but he generally doesn't just do the wind-up alone.
@@Rooster_Radio why it's that easy.. I dont wana put my public email out there but shoot me a email at 250rrippa@gmail.com I'll hit you back from my other email.maybe I'll just buy a 29 from ya and use a 2 pill driver.
I normally don't bother explaing it to people cuz the mod in the tx radio is really playing a trick on their receive. Hahaha. Roster, don't bother trying to write a book called "CB Mods for dummies" most of these dummies can't read! Hahahaha You are gonna have people playing with their clarifier while keying up. For the new Jack's it's good cuz if they got one hand on the ptt and the other hand on their clarifier then they won't be able to play with themselves while on the radio. Gonna save themselves from buying glasses. Hahaha.
I definitely want one. I like hearing them when shooting skip

As a new listener I found this to be a excellent source of info and yup im subscribing Thanks
Thankyou!

Always glad to help, thankyou

yep,thats what it sounds like ufos landing
I’m looking for a tech to do it to my 29 hell I can’t get nobody to even call back.Any suggestions??Thanks
No waste of time here, love watching all of you videos. Hell, you could do a video on stale dog turds and I'd still listen to you brother!
KP68videogates gave me a good laugh there. I appreciate it sir. If we ever run out of radio material to discuss I may go that route 😂
I run a ricochet in a magnum s6-175 I had could really get em goin with that haha like it alot
Excellent video. Learn something new everyday. Thank you.

I love the sound of it
Cool video
Good explanation! I have one on 2517 and I have a off switch. The guys on ssb are not a fan of vfo's. 👍
Good explanation!👍👍
It's an added electrolytic capacitor and a resistor across the vfo chip. About .2 to .2 and half cents worth of parts. I love it though.
wow... and I thought that in 55 years of CB that I had seen every idiotic "mod".... "noise toys" being the worst along with echo.... but this wins the grand prize! making a stable pll controlled radio act like a 1960s poorly designed radio.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
Love it I want one
I like it
I like that that's cool
Good video Rooster. Thanks for that.

Rooster I make a lot of Dx on ssb ; will it work if I key up on usb ; and make the same sound like on am mode ?
Almost like an automatic clarifier?
Do you have any of your 29s for sale now?
Hi ya Fred I’m very frustrated because I’ve twiddled a knob or pressed a button I don’t know what. But I’ve got 2 frequencies in the memory but only one of them I’m getting m-01-01 next to the frequency where the vfo A should be. I just don’t know what I’ve done? Any ideas.
50 cent electrolytic capacitor and about 30 seconds of soldering what a deal
We don't charge for the wind-up if you're already having radio work done. What a deal
But idiots will pay to be bigger idiots.
I have a stryker 955 with vfo mode can i make it do that?
How does it sound if a real VFO wind-up and a good fake one are used at the same time in same radio? ;)
Great video, but a waste of $, doesn't enhance a thing
Lol all these haters cant run with the big boys on channel 6 superbowl so the call it dumb🤣😂 I guess they been getting keyed on with the vfo winding up on them! Lol, to funny, love how it comes in before the real power hits the frequency 👌 I got it on my chrome 29, use it in key down battles! They know when I key up
That's what I do 😂 people hate it when I let her wind up but they have no choice other than to listen
I'm guessing it's just an added capacitor.
Can you tell me the values of the cap and resistor ?
its sounds cool n all but that screws up skip land ,the more people use this the worst this will get
Can you modify it to make a different tone/sound or do most VFO windups sound the same?
Marshall James they all sound the same. it's just the generic sound that is a result from being off frequency
Can this mod be done to most radios, in particular a Uniden Madison ?
yes it can be done to a uniden madison
Rooster CB Radio Connection where might someone find the info on how to do this mod ?
It's all a "secret" like all the other "mods" on 11m. They scared someone else mite make 50cent they won't see.....lmao
How much do u sell a cb like that with the mods and where can I get one
Can this be done to my Yeasu 857d
Can you do a vfo wind up mod to a galaxy 94hp?
minibike madman yes it can be done. The mod is a little different on export radios, but it can be done
@@Rooster_Radio ok cool can you see what gump would charge to do one? Just looking for that mod nothing else done to the radio.

And he Just Got Down, LOL
You gots a good channel too Dirty Diaper... Small World
Thank you, I would like to have a Wind up as well, but I don't need any more Haters- LOL
Good Explanation. How do i get in touch want a Gump 29.
Angel Lovejoy the 29 in this video is for sale. Text me at 423 299 3535
Not sure if this is as annoying as the guy that has a truck horn for a wind-up.
why the hell would you really want that for?
Because it's unique and cool sounding when you talk skip? It mimics a vintage transmitter.
Obviously if you have to ask, you don't need it.
What a useless mod 😆
What a useless comment 🤣
@@Rooster_Radio 🤣🤣🤣🤣..now can u make me that useless noise toy
Rx attention getter
I normally don't bother explaing it to people cuz the mod in the tx radio is really playing a trick on their receive. Hahaha. Roster, don't bother trying to write a book called "CB Mods for dummies" most of these dummies can't read! Hahahaha
You are gonna have people playing with their clarifier while keying up. For the new Jack's it's good cuz if they got one hand on the ptt and the other hand on their clarifier then they won't be able to play with themselves while on the radio. Gonna save themselves from buying glasses. Hahaha.
