nice video ! thanks for that, i've got a president Bill, it was worked on by HF Dokter Klaus in Germany , it has 940 channels and 21 watts with the switch mode he designed, i'm very happy with it ! he even upgraded the modulation on FM/AM and the locals commented me as being on a table mic! nice to see people as yourself getting the best uot of equipment! Keep up the good work 73's GeeBee
Hi Steve another great video post keep it up hope you and you're family are keeping well stay safe my friend and that goes for everyone on you're channel.👍.
I am just starting back with cb Radio after 40+ years, and i have just bought a pni escort hp 6500. I have just done this mod, but as i am new again i was wondering what it does? Sorry for the daft question. Would you also recommend a magnetic ariel for this set it came with one but doesn't seem to pick up much. Thank you in advance. Andy
Can you help me to get rid of the engine noise please? My rig (the same in this vid) has its own separate car battery in the boot. And the engine noise still comes out.!! Can something be done in the rig,? Thank you.
Great review easy to follow and perfect result...just need to get a half decent twig now that can be tuned as the one that came with this great little rig is complete rubbish !
Hi Nicholas it depends if u are talking about at home or on the car. On the car a megawatt 4000 at home omg there are many choices. 5/8 wave silver rod. Antronn 99 Sirio gainmaster. Sirio 827 or the 2016 m the list is very long. All the above are good.
Hi new to cb , thinking of purchasing one of these.... without sounding stupid...when in high power mode does that mean the signal transmitted goes further ? Does it also improve received signals? Cheers
Hi Musky high power only effects your range. It does not improve recieve, but most other cb radios in use run even more. This is where Antenna choice comes in. A good Antenna improve transmitted range, and recieve. Hope this throws some light on it for you.
Hi Steve, great video. I'm new for cb radios and just got the crt millenium for the first time, but either I'm doing something wrong or the radio is done . I installed the radio and switched it to EU ,however no noise , no hiss no nothing on receiving . When i press the PTT the meter is on and seems like transmitting . Any advise ? Thanks.
Hi Steve. Lovely to see your triumphant return and I hope you and deb are doing alright. I'd love to see that set after the mod on a spectrum analyzer. I've seen many a rig turn into a right old 'bleedover box' after turning the power up. I noticed the power meter start to slightly decline too so the output device is obviously getting hot pretty quickly and the thermistor is trying to pull it back to save its life lol But all said and done, it's amazing what these guys can squeeze into such a small case with modern surface mount components!!! How is it going with the amateur radio hobby now? Have you done much and will we be seeing any videos on that side of things? Squidgy squeeze Dr. Watts.
Hi Dr the mod was done for a video showing how to do the Mod. Many other vids on here tease around exactly how its done. Yes I also noticed the slight power fall, TBH the power supply I have does not help. As for the Ham side of things, I am well over due to update my ticket. YT is a strange place this is regarding my return. I never went away really , I just stopped uploading for a while. I am not one to open a draw and think, mm there s a patch lead, I will do a video about it. You will have to read between the lines ere my friend. I had to self isolate for 7 days, went out today at just gone 6.30 to get some shopping. There was a que at Tesco about 200ft long WTF. More on that later. Thanks for the comment and watch this space ok fella, above all stay safe ok bud.
@@CBRadiouk1 I know what you're saying lol Also, I walked to asda in Milton Keynes this afternoon and the queue was all the way round the front of the store and accross the road to IKEA! It's mad! Take care and keep safe
thank you for your video it has helped me immensely I followed step by step and it worked perfectly
No problem .😉
ive just bought this rig ... it`s the same as yours .... it`s called the Midland mini ! cheers Simon
Thank you! Your videos are excellent!!!!
Hi David thanks for the comment.
I must admit I'm a bit rusty with the editing.
It will all come back to me in time.

Hi Steve another great video post keep it up hope you and you're family are keeping well stay safe my friend and that goes for everyone on you're channel.👍.
I think these radios for under £60 are blinding especially with the modification in my opinion adds value to this small radio

Nice tweak Steve... well explained .. cheers...
Hi Glen no problem.
It's easy enough to do, and reversible with button presses.
Nice one Steve great tutorial 👌
Thanks James it took me ages to work out how to do it.
I hope it helps anyone with one.
Nice vid - easy mod - thanks for the guidance
Glad it helped

good video thanks steve
Great video. Thanks.

HI Steve sorry for long delay, did u get a new Antenna??
Why need both jumpers to be moved?
I saw other tutorials that moves only the top jumper, I tried that and it works.
That's great yay
That's a capable little rig,
Hi Orange not bad for such a small rig.
Although it's mine, it's not my cup of tea really.
That said it may come in handy at some point.
hi,good video,interesting to know,thanks from rotterdam.
Hi thanks like the vids Ct1551 (Andy)
While I'm off work there should be more.
From CT318..
Hi Steve Great little mod ...What aerial would you recomend using after this mod ?
Hi Nicholas it depends if u are talking about at home or on the car.
On the car a megawatt 4000 at home omg there are many choices.
5/8 wave silver rod.
Antronn 99
Sirio gainmaster.
Sirio 827 or the 2016 m the list is very long.
All the above are good.
Hi Steve, do you know if you can be extended channels? Thanks for all.

Hi Anthony read the manual fella, sounds like an over squelch problem.
Nice video thanks. What will happen by activating the high power mode without jumper modification?
Nothing high power does not come up as an option.
Would you recommend this radio Steve ? TIA.
Hi Mark if u need a very small rig, the milenium will do just fine.
Do not expect 6900 audio but they are ok.
Hi I’ve enjoyed the video thanks. Is it possible to still get the uk 40 after the mod?
yes uk ch still there.
Jus brought 1 of thesse today 😎
Hi 827 nice one let me know how u get with it bud.
Will do 😎🖒
Nice video ✌

It's mad!
Take care and keep safe
@@DrWatts-bi1jv Nuff said my friend.
Keep safe......
Can this open to 10m without changing power level
thanks sorted.
Silicone on Whatever that thing is...
Feel free to ask questions. Lol
Bonjour, pour augmenter la puissance président Bill
Anyone know the key combo to switch between high and low power?
You have to do the mod, before it works.
It's all in the video m8, watch it through.
Steven do u no how to do a power mod on the crt xenon v3 mate
Hi Daniel unfortunately not, it may be worth doing a Google sear h for that.
Or on here of course.
I just did a quick search, simonthewizard has a video on that rig.
Crt xenon export mode I believe it's called.
i can not find the diagram of the mod.Thanks for sharing this,
Hi Mr M hope the video got you sorted.
It works thanks, but eu channel dissapear can u let me now what i have to do please ..now i have just de ce il norms
Hi sorry for the delay' I sold my radio ages ago.
All your different bands should still be there.
Just do a UA-cam search on how to change bands.....
Where did u get the jumper
It was there from new.
Does high power work in UK mode?
Hi Andrew yes it does.
@@CBRadiouk1 cheers, yeah just done it, definitely works.
Is this the same for the crt one ta m8
I don't know is the honest reply fella.
If u have one take a look inside.
Mine doesn’t have a jumper there
your rig must be a different version bud.
Tο έκανα εκπομπή 8 watt
Thats a simple easy mod without soldering. Hope your feeling ok mate.
Hi Fred I'm ok thanks.
Yes the mod is easy enough, I watched loads of vids on how it's Done.
Not one showed how to do it.
How s you doing?
@@CBRadiouk1 Working hard. About 30% off sick so plenty to go around :-)
