        Restore the Cellular Freqs. on Your BC200/205XLT!

        This is so simple that anyone can do it, and you have to be
REAL sloppy in order to damage your unit.

     There is no soldering involved, but if you do happen to mess your
unit up: YOU AND ONLY YOU ARE THE ONE THAT IS RESPONSIBLE.  We take no
responsiblity for any thing that might become of you or your radio!

     This mod. will also void your warranty, so open your radio and
check it out to make sure you can pull it off before you begin the real
work.

     Now that we are through with the usual backwash of "spooky"
information we can now begin.


     1.)  Take the antenna and battery pack off of the radio.

     2.)  With a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the two screws at the
          back of the radio.  Then remove the two screws and the battery
          spring at the base of the radio.

     3.)  GENTLELY! pull off the back of the radio.

     4.)  Locate the two screws at the bottom of the board, and
          carefully remove them with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
          (Be carefull not to damage any of the surrounding components.
          This is not to tough to avoid, but warrants mentioning.)

     5.)  EVER-SO-GENTLELY! pull the front panel away from the scanner
          frame.

     6.)  On the front panel part of the radio, locate the microprocessor
          IC (labeled UNIDEN UC-1147, its the biggest black chip on the
          board) and the 10K ohm (brown-black-orange) resistor positioned
          right above the letters "DEN" in the word "UNIDEN" on the IC.

     *****  MAKE SURE YOU LOCATE THE RIGHT PART  *****

     7.)  With a small pair of clippers, clip the resistor right in two.
          Make sure not to disturb any components around the resistor.
          Leave the ends of the resistor on the board, all you need to
          do is just clip it enough so that there is a gap between the two
          ends.  Take care to clean the remiments, made by cutting the
          resistor, of the board.

     8.)  Check to see that there is no damage and everything is tidy.

     9.)  CAREFULLY reasemble the radio in exactly the reverse order of
          how you took it apart.  Be careful to line up the pins to their
          sockets in the lower, left-hand side of the radio.

     *****  FAILURE TO DO THIS CORRECTLY WILL RESULT IN A DISPLAY
     ERROR.  WHEN THE RADIO IS TURNED ON NOTHING WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN.

     don't panic.
     I've done this before.  The malfunction can be fixed by taking
     the radio back apart, carefully, and making sure those pins are
     in the correct socket.  I almost gave birth to a small cow when this
     happened to me and I was very relived to find out that this was all
     that was wrong.

     10.) After you have tightened the screws, put the battery pack and
          the antenna back on the radio.  Then press "MANUAL, 845.0, E".
          Within two seconds the freq 845.000 should pop up on the display.


     Now you have completed the mod. for your scanner.  I would now like
     to welcome you to the world of the forrbiden freqs.!  You will now
     see the truth to the statement "Never say anything on a cellular
     phone that you do not want anyone else to hear."  Unfortunately
     (but fortunately for us!!) there is an incredible number of people
     that do not know this and you will be suprised at the information
     broadcast across the airwaves.

     Enjoy!
