Yes, it had been modified. Someone grounded pin 10 of the PPL chip and

What's a "PPL chip?" A popcorn popping loop? Why do I get the feeling
that you're just blowing smoke in an attempt to impress someone?

not shut up

The original poster probably meant a PLL - a phase locked loop -
something you didn't even notice, Expert Boy. But you don't put a
typical, synthesized VFO on a new frequency by simply doing something
to a PLL. You have to modify the divider / multiplier circuitry which
takes its input from one or more crystal controlled oscillators. In
addition, you'd probably need to change one of the crystals if you
were going to go really far out of band. Most CB "modders" don't do
any of the above; they change the operation of a logic circuit
(sometimes by removing a diode, but usually by replacing a chip) so
that certain illegal frequencies can be dialed up in addition to the
legal ones.

The original poster - just like you - didn't seem to know what he was
talking about.

Now go away and flood some more, Murgatroid. It's the only expertise
you have demonstrated in these newsgroups.
