Binatone Long Ranger 12 - Channels
Hi,
Long shot I'm sure...but when I was a little lad my Dad bought me a Binatone Long Ranger 12. Recently my Dad passed away and it brought back loads of memories...and through one way and another I got a Binatone Long Ranger...I know it sounds daft but hey.... Anyhoooo, it's pretty useless in this the new age of CB with pretty much everyone using only on channel out of the 80 now available as the Binatone is a 12 channel rig, 6 to 17....no 19!!!! Is there a simple way to alter this? Does anyone know this model? I know the easy answer is throw it out and get a new, modern multi fangled hand held, but hey its a challenge. Thx |

christ that's old.
i think it was a crystal jobby. by the time you've paid for the new xtals, it might be cheaper to buy a newer model off e-bay. i must have the circuit here somewhere. i'll look into it. mike "BlahBlah" <blah@blah.com> wrote in message news:BE4F9790.1A4AD%blah@blah.com... > Hi, > Long shot I'm sure...but when I was a little lad my Dad bought me a Binatone > Long Ranger 12. > > Recently my Dad passed away and it brought back loads of memories...and > through one way and another I got a Binatone Long Ranger...I know it sounds > daft but hey.... > > Anyhoooo, it's pretty useless in this the new age of CB with pretty much > everyone using only on channel out of the 80 now available as the Binatone > is a 12 channel rig, 6 to 17....no 19!!!! > > Is there a simple way to alter this? > Does anyone know this model? > > I know the easy answer is throw it out and get a new, modern multi fangled > hand held, but hey its a challenge. > > Thx > |

Thanks mike.
I've popped it open and there does appear to be at least 2 crystals, although I couldn't be certain. From what I remember from others I've seen they come in little sealed pots.
