Alinco DJ-V5TH Receive-Transmit Mod by N3WRJ
1. Write down and SAVE your Frequency Memory list as the later memory reset will LOSE ALL of this information.
2. Remove Battery Pack.
3. Remove (2) Philips Screws on both lower sides of Metal chassis under Battery.
4. Remove Antenna and Rubber Mic-Ear cover from SMA antenna jack.
5. Unscrew and remove spanner nut from SMA Antenna jack.
6. Pull off Frequency and Volume control knobs.
7. CAREFULLY lift Battery connector edge of chassis up and out of case...the speaker leads are not very long, so proceed slowly.
8. Flip the chassis over to reveal the PC board side and lay the chassis to the left of the case.
9. Look for the 3/4" long Blue wire ½ loop...just below the SMA antenna jack on the right side of the PC board...You need to carefully unsolder the lower end of the wire jumper and tape it carefully to allow resoldering it into place if Warranty Service is ever needed. (Most out of band Mods WILL void the Factory Warranty.)
10. Re-assemble chassis into case and replace SMA Antenna Jack spanner nut, (2) Philips Screws, Mic-Ear jack rubber cover, Frequency & Volume Knobs, the SMA antenna and the Battery Pack / Clip.
