The Transceivers where made fully open by removing coding diodes.
The testings are done with 50 Ohm dummy load, Revex W570 SWR and power meter and 13,8 Volt to the transceivers.

1240 MHz - 1300 MHz (Only T81E)
To make the IC-T81E transmit on 220 MHz the TX bandpass filter must be modified.
By making changes in the TX bandpassfilters and PLL circuitry it can be possible to expand the TX further according to this tabel.
T8E T81E
50 MHz - 76 MHz 50 MHz - 87,980 MHz
136 MHz - 230 MHz 136 MHz - 230 MHz
300 MHz - 600 MHz 300 MHz - 600 MHz
1240 MHz - 1300 MHz
To make the transmitters work on other bands than this, a logical override circuit must be made and mounted into the transceiver. This circuit intercepts the signals between the microprosessor and the radio circuitry and enables the TX when the PTT switch is pressed even if TX clearence from the microprosessor is missing. With this extra circuitry monted into the transceiver it should be possible to enable TX on 76 MHz - 136 MHz and for the T81E on frequencies between 600 MHz and 1000 MHz.
If you wish to use the transceiver on the air band, the logical intercept circuit must be mounted. Then you must modify the TX bandpassfilter and maybe the PLL circuit. Then you have to mount a micro relay or an electronic switch. With this relay you will be able to switch the audio signals from the mic circuit from going to the FM modulating varactor diode to the base of a prefinal transistor in the TX circuit.
This will make the transmitter transmit AM instead of FM. The AM circuit can be mounted on the same board as the logical intercept circuit.
