Can someone kindly help me with the missing step from the modification
to the ICOM 725? I got the following mod from the n8emr mod server but
it is apparent that something is missing in step 5 and step 11 appears to have
something missing (besides being out of sequence).
Thanks,

This modification allows the radio to transmit outside of the designated
Amateur freq. Transmitting where you are not licensed to do so is
unlawful!
Disassemble radio following instructions on page 24 of Instruction
manual, steps 1 - 7, or as follows:

otherwise specified!

(top front of radio - Not the screws that are in the plastic front panel.)
3) Remove the 2 screws that hold the PA unit to the rear panel.

1 is above to ACC(1) jack.)

You may have to remove J4 to allow access to D-5.

opening a book! You now have the PLL unit exposed.
10) Cut Diode D-5 from the PLL unit.
D-5 is loca reverse of above
12) The radio will now transmit from 1.5 MHz to 33 Mhz. (It will transmit
even lower but the power output drops off and I don't know if doing so
will damage the transmitter.
