Remove the bottom and top covers and remove the front panel cover. You must then remove the front

board by carefully unpluging it (try not to touch the lcd display). On the back of this board which is the

control unit locate jumpers 1 through 12 and unsolder any that are soldered. All jumpers must be open

(1-12 only). Reinstall the control unit and just turn on the radio for a few seconds. now turn it off again

and remove the control unit again and solder jumpers 3, 4, 5, 11 only. Put everything back together and

apply power. The display will read 000. Push the MHz button and rotate the main dial until 132.000 reads

on the display, then press D/MR once. Now press again the MHz button and rotate to 180.000 and press

the D/MR again. the radio is now programmed to operate from 132 to 180 mhz. mine has tx and rx through

the entire spectrum with excellent sensitivity from 136 to 178. Dont forget that transmitting outside the amateur

band is not allowed so please consult your local athorities for a special permit.
