In the newer verison VX-1R that is missing the diode pack, you should be able to do a simpler MARS/CAP modification and you will retain the Automatic Repeater Offset finction (TX range not as extensive as the Free-Band mod) by removing the small surface mount resistor next to the "3" jumper, you will need to also do a hard reset as described in the owners manual.
You will not loose the "Automatic Repeater Offset" function by doing the MARS/CAP mod.
