                           After effect:
Ranges:
Tx 138-173.995MHz
Rx 108-173,995MHz (AM in the 108-135,995MHz range)

solder pad on the RF board.


The DR610E can also be modified by a keyboard sequence while
in key-lock mode.

Good luck.  The author takes no responsibility for this modification but 
offers it in good faith.
