From : WB1E @ K1RQG.ME.USA.NA To : MODS @ ALLUS Date : 921007/0128 Msgid : BF 3616@K1RQG Subject: KENWOOD TH-78A MOD WARNING In the course of performing mods on my Kenwood TH-78A dual band handheld, I've discovered a potential flaw in the case design. While handling my walkie one day (after the mods were done), the display went blank and I could not turn the radio back on. With the radio split in half again, I could turn the radio back on but discovered all the memories were erased. The cause turned out to be some component pins on the front face coming in contact with the square bodies of the two volume/channel/squelch switches, when the case is screwed back together snuggly. I placed small strips of electrical tape on the sides of the switches to insulate, and reassembled; problem solved. Now I have to reprogram the darn thing.... Mark WB1E @ K1RQG.ME
