Extending the transmit range

The modification posted earlier in this location was not working on most units.  Here is a mod which appears to be correct:

Remove bottom cover..near battery there are 6 solder pads numbered 1 thru 6....pad 1 is already shorted with a chip resistor.....short pads 2 and 3 with solder...check pad 6 and if it has a chip resistor on it ...remove it...this one has to be removed to go out of band on hf and 6m.....replace cover and turn on radio while holding in the lock and fast buttons....this resets micro and you will also lose all your memories that you have entered...you will have to reprogram these....TX coverage will be 1.8-76mhz with
no gaps...DO NOT TX BETWEEN 30-36MHZ -- not only is it illegal, but you may damage the HF PA.
