General Coverage TX Mod
This modification opens up transmit coverage. Be careful not to transmit outside the Amateur Bands.
RX: 30KHz-824MHz, 849MHz-859MHz, 894MHz-961MHz.
TX: 1.8MHz-30MHz, 50MHz-54MHz, 140MHz-174MHz, 420MHz-470MHz.
  1. Remove Front Panel from radio and open the rear cover from the Front Panel unit. Be careful, a cable connects them together.
  2. Locate and remove R6035 and R6036 on the display board. Note: The factory removed R6035 on my radio so I only had to remove R6036. You should end up like the picture below.
  3. Reassemble and install the Front Panel on the radio.
  4. Press and hold [DWN] and [STEP] buttons while turning on the radio. The display will read "r on" for a 1/2 second.
  5. Set the dial frequency to 375.72727MHz and turn the power off.
  6. Press and hold [DWN] and [STEP] button while turning on the radio. The display will read "HF on" for a 1/2 second.
  7. Set the dial frequency to 549.61163MHz and turn the power off.
  8. Press and hold [DWN] and [STEP] buttons while turning on the radio.
    The display will read "vU on" for a 1/2 second.
  9. The modification is complete - Turn the radio off and back on to continue.
