STEP 1: HOLD DOWN THE SECOND AND THIRD FRONT FUNCTION BUTTONS WHILE TURNING
THE RADIO ON. NOW TURN IT BACK OFF.
STEP 2: CAREFULLY REMOVE THE LARGE TUNING KNOB AND REMOVE THE TWO HEX SCREWS
THAT HOLD THE FACEPLATE ON. PULL THE FACEPLATE STRAIGHT OF THE BODY WITHOUT
TILTING IT (YOU RUN THE RISK OF BENDING THE PIN CONNECTORS BEHIND THE
FACEPLATE).
STEP 3: TURN THE FACEPLATE OVER AND LOCATE THE MAIN IC CHIP, SET AT A
45-DEGREE ANGLE. JUST TO THE LOWER LEFT AND RIGHT OF THE IC, YOU WILL SEE
THE MAIN PIN CONNECTORS. UNDER THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF THE LEFT PIN
CONNECTOR, YOU SHOULD SEE A MARKING ON THE PC BOARD LABELED AS "D16". JUST
BELOW THIS SHOULD BE THE MATCHING DIODE, CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE
BOARD. REMOVE THIS DIODE AND CAREFULLY RE-ASSEMBLE THE RADIO(WATCH THOSE
FACEPLATE PINS!!
THE RADIO WILL NOW TX 136-174 MHZ. AS FAR AS I KNOW, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO
RESET THE MEMORY TO MAKE THE MOD WORK(at least I didnt have to) |
