Remove the two screws from the top cover, and the two screws from the top rear area of the rear panel, so as to allow the top cover/heat sink to be slid slightly toward the rear. The objective is to be able to see into the CNTL-1 Unit, which is the inside part of the front panel (not the detachable sub-panel). 2. Locate test points TP3001 and TP3002 on the CNTL Unit. They are located near the top edge of the board, in the center from left to right. With the transceiver still turned off, connect a jumper (alligator clip is ok) between these 2 test points. 3. Hold in the following 4 buttons: [PROC], [ATT], [IPO], and [NB]. While holding them in, turn the transceiver on. Release the buttons. 4. The display will indicate OFF. Turn the VFO dial slowly until the display reads ON. 5. Press the [PROC] button to write the new instructions to EEPROM. 6. Remove the jumper across the test points. 7. Replace the case screws. Mod is now complete. -- ============================================================== ============================================================== Radio Devices email for complete cdrom or Ham catalog 32 Queens View Road QRZ $14.95, Buckmaster $42.95 + postage Marlboro, MA 01752 Linux,OS/2, MAC,Windows,Unix, CICA,SIMTEL (508)480-0502 KD1GG Ramsey Kits, Antennas West, Power Station =================== Oak Hills Research QRP Kits,Anli Antennas Radio Dev on World Wide Web http://www.raddev.com/biz/raddev/ ==============================================================
