Is there a service manual available for the 1001Z?

There are microphones with built-in amplifiers that can be purchased to increase modulation on rigs that do not have internal adjustments for microphone amplitude. Another approach is to try and find the service manual for your radio and see if it has procedures for setting the modulation.

You can't "turn it up". You may be able to carefully compress or spread the coil windings near the Final Output Transistor (Q 14 a 2SC 2078) to get a bit more out of it but it isn't a real "Big Time" CB like the Cobra 29's. Sorry.

first you need a watt meter, then a service manual. people think that the more power you have the better the radio. yeah it sounds great but not over the space of 40 channels , and you can go up itno the amature band and wipe them out also and the lower 40 will also be splashed. Thats why if you want it done good take it to someone that knows what they are doing.

amps like the smaller wattage so they can push out more power but some amps like the 3 watt figure so they can push out more power. go to www.cbtricks.com and look up your radio. the schematic is there but I don't remember if there is a service manual for it.

1) grnd 2) mic audio 3) trans audio 4) rec audio

the ANCE is DM1. you can adjust the.modulation by turning it. you can also just back the Mic gain down until the aaudio is cleaner.

that is one of midlands big secrets. they want to do the work on their product so they will only release certain manuals for certain radios. unfortunately the 1000 z isn't one of them. Hey I mean I have a 9001z and midland told me they don't have service manuals for it.

Try Cbtricks.com.................hope this helps you some..........

I had the same (squealing) problem on transmit with the Midland 1001Z when I used it indoors as a base unit. The problem was my power supply: it broke into oscillation when drawing more than 150 mA at 13.8V. The 1001Z draws about 150 mA on Receive, and much more (but only about 900 mA) on Transmit. If using the 1001Z as a base unit, I suggest you power it with a fully-charged car battery indoors, or test your power supply to check if it can't supply the required 1 Amp, approx., on Transmit. It's a GREAT radio, just give it a good power supply. My power supply was defective out of the box, but now I have a good one and get great reports on signal strength and audio quality. Remarkable, for the low price and 3 year warranty. Good luck!

Hi yes it is possible as is anything if your willing to pay for the conversion , it would require new chrystals and resetting of the If system but is possible . However porobably not economical Midland did do The 100 model in an Fm modulation format and you will probably find still available on Ebay or Amazon if not that paticular one a good version at any rate ..I beleive they did actually do an Am Fm model also ...Regards Vortash
