- Extended receive soft mod clarification:
-
- Turn off the radio..
- Hold down the Light, B and # keys (it isn't easy)
- While holding down these keys, turn on the radio (even harder for two
- handed people!!!)
-
- THIS IS THE IMPORTANT STEP
-
- **** DO NOT RELEASE THE Light-B-# KEYS UNTIL THE SELF TEST IS OVER AND
- THE RADIO IS DISPLAYING A FREQUENCY ****
-
- If you release the keys before the display has settled down, you won't
- enable the wide-range receive.
-
- Or maybe you have a very early unit that requires the removal of a diode.
- My unit has a serial number in the 1900's, I am told (by a good source)
- that the 'first' batch of IC24A's required the diode to be removed.
- All other batches (from Japan) don't require the diode to be removed (of
- course, they could change this at any time!).
