Minirepeater:
- Remove D16 on logic board. (Not necessary on USA version)
- Set the desired QRG on each band.
- Push the [VHF MAIN] + [UHF MAIN] VFO knob and push [SET] at the same time.
The memory channel indication changes to "L" (L=Minirepeater mode)
To return to normal, push and hold [SET].
Expand RX for the EUR version:
By key funktion:
- Switch off the radio.
- Push the [V/MHz] (for VHF), and [SET] and [DN] on microphone at the same time, while turning on power.
By diode:
- Remove D17 diode on the logic board.
- Do a full reset by switching off the radio. Then while pushing [SET] + [SPCH], turn on the radio.
After either mod, you will have:
118,000 - 135,995 MHz AM
136,000 - 174,000 MHz FM
320,000 - 479,000 MHz FM
830,000 - 950,000 MHz FM (Needs extra coaxial cable to receive anything)
Expand RX for the USA version:
- Cut W1 jumper wire on logic board.
After mod, you will have:
118,000 - 135,995 MHz AM
136,000 - 174,000 MHz FM
320,000 - 479,000 MHz FM
