In this weeks video we look at a few mods for this binatone 5 star cb radio
One mod ive never seen before in a CB radio.

Certainly useful for blind ops, York 861 and Binatone 5 star both use the same PTBM134 main board. Most extensive mod was to take Binatone 5 star front and fit it to a Nato 2000 multimode

back in the 80s there was a blind operator call white harness he had one of them chat back mods done on a uniace 200.people did go eyeball him at night time and sat in the dark till they asked if they could turn the living room light on .cheers

There was a version of the Midland 2001 called the ‘2001T’ that has the audible channel change. Ive never seen one though

[@ROB-M0LOL-VK2OMG]

I used to have one of these the front panel of mine was taken off to fit to my nato 2000 to hide what it was rob😊😊😊

The speech sinth fair enough but the roger bleeps NO THANK YOU. The Binatone 5 star is a great radio and does not need any mods at all. Leave well alone. O and you have the wrong knobs on the radio. Mark 2w0jmk

It's a great as any other PTBM134, just more knobs, best mod of the 134 is to fit a real FM squelch, the carrier squelch is poor, its crazy Cybernet designed a FM radio at late as the 134 keeping the AM AGC line and carrier squelch from 15 years before! SPECTRUM COMMUNICATIONS Dorset, make FM NS1000 NOISE SQUELCH using the TDA10001 FM noise squelch chip

i was expecting something more than a range of pointless adjustments mods and robotic voices and bleeps.
