President Grant CB-Radio

President Grant "Classic" (Grey face, Dual 2312 finals, No ASC, PC999AE board)

Remove white wire from pin foil side of the PLL. Connect cut trace.

Remove second white wire on foil side towards the front of the radio (only other white wire).

Find purple wire behind ABC band switch. This wire is 3 inches long and has an open end with a piece of clear tubing over the end. Connect this wire to board ground. A good place is on the foil side where you took the second white wire off. The spot closest to the front edge is ground.

That’s it! You now have three bands of 40CH's.

Optional
Retune rear slug for max peak power on CH 20. This slug has white wax on the top. It is tuned for 28MHz. Typical 5 watt pep improvement and balanced RF power output across bands.

And the Jackson, band d should be the cb band.

I don't blame you, might be worth a trip to a good tech and have them tune and align both radios if you don't have the proper equipment to do so. I would love to have either or both of those radios man.

Not worth bothering with for the amount of power you'll get. Far better to use an external amplifier. If it isn't at least four times the stock output then the increase isn't worth it because the other end won't notice.
