Rci 69vhp conversion
- Thread starter zman350
- Start date
This seems to be another one of those radios that "everybody" knows how to modify, but nobody talks about.
Found a reference that the RCI-69 Base shares it's PC board with the 69vhp. Since that came from a post on Ranger's Facebook page, there's slightly over a 50% chance that's true. So, logically, any mod for the RCI 69 Base should also work on the 69vhp.
Well, here's the one bit of info I found on a frequency mod for the RCI 69 Base:
I cannot testify to the veracity of the information presented in that video, and I don't know how you get the claimed range out of a 6 position band switch and a 40 channel selector.
As always, try to verify the info yourself before diving in and implementing something you saw on a random YouTube video. I'm not responsible if the magic smoke escapes.

Yes. They're easy enough that even I can do them.
Same as 98vhp or 959, leave limiter in place and the "red wire" so to speak is already there adjust amc and alc to look good on scope and you are done.
Look out for mismatched finals on these radios, both of the 69vhp mobiles I have .... came from the factory with mismatched finals that would cause oscillation on ssb
