Can the Grant LT be expanded for freeband frequencies? If so, how?

Thanks.

I saw this mod and have no idea if its valid but check it out ......


1-Install two spst switches, or make two of the front panel switches available.

2- Wire one of the switches to where it grounds pin 10 of the pll chip

3- Wire the ohter switch to where it connects pins 11 and 12 together..

The frequency range is now 26.815-28.045

Forget who put this on the web, so sorry I can't credit them, but one this works.

The grant lt is very easy to modify. You can do it very easily with two single pole switches. Connect one switch from ground to pin # 10 and connect the other switch from ground to pin # 11. That's it. You're done.

Both switched open = normal channels
Both switches closed = middle HF channels
Switch for pin # 10 closed = upper HF channels
Switch for pin # 11 closed = below one channels

I may may switch 10 and 11 funtions backwards but you should get the general idea.

use the Bright and dim and also the Hi and Low tone switches.

Here is the channel map after the above mod
