Great radios but off frequency when expanded using uk channel's, now back to standard UK spec thanks to this video and back on frequency.

Just ordered one

[@DrCrabfingers]

This video helped me even though there is no dialogue. I was stuck in D band (new radio) and restarting the radio holding down function and p1 as per the crappy manual didn't do anything. But restarting holding down function and p6 and pressing push, going through the options and reselecting CB, then restarting holding function and p1 and hey presto the menu for country bands came up, I selected U, on the main screen I could select UK by pressing band....it's a bit confusing!

Cracking little radio.

I just got a CRT 2000H. It was sent to me extended. I have tried to do what you have shown to get it back to UK CB but I don't get a menu, it just boots up as normal. At the moment it reads RA where the GB should be. Any help would be appreciated.

Video shows the CRT 2000, not 2000H ! Radios have different firmware programming For the UK channels with 2000H you can use the VFO function or use the programming software and simply save the UK CH / frequencies

@@KlausR Thank you.

You CAN put the CRT2000H 'back' to UKFM40 via the menu system. 1. Turn it off 2. FUNC, P6 and ON push all and hold until a menu appears 3. Use rotary knob to select CB FREQ, then push in the rotary knob and hold and it will reset to CB Freq's. 4. Turn it off 5. FUNC, P1 and ON push all and hold until a menu appears 6. Use rotary knob to select U BAND, then push in the rotary knob and hold and it will reset to CB Freq's. 7. Now on your radio display one of your P buttons will have MOD (mode) - when you push this P button for MOD, your mode will now cycle between UK (FM40), U (EU CB band), AM (EU CB band). Your BND (band) selector key will now show ERROR as you've programmed it back to EU and UK CB radio and away from the 25-30 Mhz bands. You will no longer have Bands A-J etc. Just UK/EU FM and EU AM. You will also lose the ability to select POWER 4/10/40 and it will reset to standard 4w.

@@pilgrimoutdoors-uk6177 Thanks for the reply. I have the software for this. I think I removed the extended part and I was thinking of putting it back. I asked the shop where I purchased it how to do this and they refused point blank to give me thi=e information. Any ideas??

[@pilgrimoutdoors-uk6177]

@@malstanding By "the extended part" do you mean the UK 40 frequencies on one of the bands along with all the other bands? (so in the setup - it would be HF frequency bands selected as opposed to CB bands) If that is what you mean, i'm not sure. The shops usually program the UKFM onto a band and I would presume they do it with the software. Mine is 'back' in the legal UK and EU 80 channels now. If you have the software, does it not enable you pick a band (A SS low for instance)and simply replace the 40 frequencies with the UK 40 frequencies? I thought this is how the shops did it.
