I came across this guys. Maybe some of you can tell if it works or not?

HTX 10 MOD 25.150-29699mhz 1.open radio look up on front face board if you look very carefully you will see 2 solder pads where there could of been 2 pins for a jumper plug (like the 2950's)you will see one side goes to a smd. and the other goes to a ground island solder a resistor 10 ohms across pads (the resistor is brown black black gold 1/4 watt) Now put the radio back together and hold fun' and button 2 in while turning on .the radio will have a 40 channel display on right of freq display 1-40 press 2 to change bands along w/ lower left button' THERE is NO fine mod for radio due to missing components. and you know how to turn up amc and alc in the rear.

I'm sure there would be at least a few happy people out there if it does work.

We've through this before..the radio is modifiable but requires a processor chip exchange which is tedious & expensive to say the least but can and has been done. We posted the info back when Rat Shak was doing their "clearing house " pricing on these...The radio had to be shipped to Cali. and was basicly a mag 257 when returned..unless the radio was a gift, not worth it. Just bay a new Mag. 257 and save heartache/headaches:-)

Bob - the same site that I found that data on also shows a CW adaptor for teh HTX-10. My HTX-10 has CW as an existing mode. That alone made me cautious.
