EEC Models: Ham International Hercules FM, HyCom CB2000/CB3000/CB4000, Major 3000, Multitech MS211, Midland 77-FM-005

This is the first ROM chip. Due to the lack of a TX mixer stage it is unmodifiable.

This Pll is now fitted to Unidens that say "Made in Malaysia" on the back panel..This chip is a clone of the MB8719 with a few changes.. The VCO will become unstable when it is expanded out of the normal 'FCC' channels. Pin10 (divide by Ncode) has to left 'floating' if you tie it HIGH or LOW the VCO again becomes unstable and will not lock on. The only way to modify this radio is to replace the RCI8719 PLL with the older MB8719 PLL.The resistor near Pin9 needs to be removed and a jumper wire with a ferrite bead put in its place to reconnect power to pin 9. As this radio is not as broadbanded as previous Unidens it might not be worth the expense of the new chip.

Models include:- Courier Blazer 40D/Renegade 40/Rogue 40/Nightrider 40DR/Ranger 40D, Fannon Fanfare 125F/182F/184F/185PLL/185DF/190F, Realistic TRC448
