Alincos are fairly easy radios to modify and I found that there is a blue wire behind the front panel below the covers. After clipping this wire and resetting the microprocessor, the Alinco would now transmit way out of band. 139.000-173.000 and 420.000-490.000. BEWARE: This modification will allow the user to transmit on police and fire frequencies. Doing this is against the Law and could bring heavy fines. This modification is for educational purposes only. Transmitting out of ham bands is illegal. Thanks, Chris KC7JSP
