Modifications for the Standard C-5718

19-07-1998 Standard 5718da expand TX freq


I have noticed over the past few months that many people including myself have been looking for a mod to expand TX freq. on the Standard 5718da. I myself have been looking and have found it. It's actually quite easy to do. Hopefully I can acurately tell whoever is interest how to do this mod. Here's how it goes.

1. Remove the power and antenna from the radio
   
   
2. remove the 4 screws on the top cover
   
   
3. locate the veritcal board (UCOM) at the front of the radio
   
   
4. locate the three BLUE chip resistors (Right side of connector labeled "CTD")
   
   
5. REMOVE THE LOWER MOST CHIP RESISTOR
   
   
6. reassemble the radio and reset the microprocessor.

Just thought I'd pass this along to anyone interested. Please perform this mod only if you feel that you can do so. I cannot be held responsible for damage to your radio from this mod. Have fun!
