This document provides instructions for modifying a radio to expand its transmission frequencies. It instructs the user to remove two jumpers from the radio's display board to enable transmission between 1.8MHz-30MHz, 50MHz-54MHz, 140MHz-174MHz, and 420MHz-470MHz, beyond the standard amateur bands. The instructions also include steps to activate the frequency expansion by turning the radio on and off at specific frequencies while pressing additional buttons.

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 (1) and R6036 (2) 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. _____________________________________________________ / / _ = | = | _ = ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! | = 1 2 3 4 | ! ! ! ! |
Back of front panel. Top left corner.Remove jumpers 1 & 2, leave 3 & 4.
3. Reassemble and install the Front Panel on the radio.
4. Press and hold [DWN] and [STEP] keys; while holding them in, press and hold in the [PWR] switch for 1/2 second to turn the tranceiver On. Now let go of all keys. The display will read "r on" for a 1/2 second or less (it may be so quick that you don't see it but continue with the mod). 5. Set the dial frequency to 375.72727MHz and turn the power off. Note: You may need to use LSB, USB, or CW to get the last digit. 6. Press and hold [DWN] and [STEP] keys; while holding them in, press and hold in the [PWR] switch for 1/2 second to turn the tranceiver On. Now let go of all keys. The display will read "HF on" for a 1/2 second or less (it may be so quick that you don't see it but continue with the mod). 7. Set the dial frequency to 549.61163MHz and turn the power off. 8. Press and hold [DWN] and [STEP] keys; while holding them in, press and hold in the [PWR] switch for 1/2 second to turn the tranceiver On. Now let go of all keys. The display will read "vU on" for a 1/2 secondor less (it may be so quick that you don't see it but continue with the mod). 9. The modification is complete. Turn the radio off and back on tocontinue.
