I know I can't be the only one who wishes my DX-959 had a scan feature. Maybe you wish you could scan the band on your Cobra 148? What about that Uniden grant?
Well I am working on just such a mod. I am working on interfacing the rotary encoder switch with a micro-controller to scan through the channels and stop when the squelch is opened. Its a work in progress, but I have pretty well all of the pieces either on paper, or in hardware, working on piecing it together.
I have been taking video of my progress as I have been working on it, and have collaborated some of the clips into a video showing the progress of the mod and explanations on how it will work when complete.
If anyone is interested, the video is here.
Scanning Mod for DX959 / 949 / Cobra / Uniden CB radio. Work in progress. - YouTube
As I make more progress I will produce another video with the updated progress.
Stay tuned and enjoy.
Cheers!
