Hi,
I've recently acquired A TX 4000 UHF CB. While fiddling with it, I
accidentally discovered it had lots of extra channels, but I cannot
remember what I did to get them.
Would anyone know, please??

AFAIK the TX4000 was not able to be extended channel wise the TX4200 could have an extra 8 or so channels added by modified software Kev

I bought the thing for $80 as I wanted one for the car. While fiddling and changing the quiet settings, it started showing extra channels, 41 t0 80 and then hex numbers, 0A 0B etc. I kept fiddling and lost the extras and have not been able to get them back. I just hoped somebody might know the key press sequence to access them. On the other paw, thinking about it, it may have been just the PLL unlocking for some reason. It's been working fine on the standard 40 since. I dunno Kate vk4xyl

The big cash went on a nice Yaesu FT 857D. Much thanks Kev, input appreciated. Kate vk4xyl
