Subject: TS50 extended transmit mod file Hi folks, I just got a spanking new Kenwood TS-50S Searching around the local LLBBS's I found a very simple mod for full transmit from 1.7 - 30 mhz.... Remove the bottom cover of the TS-50 Locate the PLL board -- it is the pc board on top of the main board, it has a shield on it's right side. Locate the only non-surface mounted component on the PLL board -- look near the rear left-hand side of the pll board (front of radio facing you) and remove the very obvious diode. You can't miss, ther's only one. Replace cover. Perform microprocessor reset as described in your manual. Please -- This mod for use only by persons authorized to use those frequencies outside of the ham bands - such as MARS, CAP and such. This radio is not type accepted for commercial use outside of the ham bands....
