- ATS-803A and DX-440 Mod
-
- This mod gets rid of the "chuff" when tuning the radio that
- becomes very annoying. This Mod also enables the speaker while you
- are scanning. You will be surprised on how much you have missed.
- I have done the mod and it is real easy. If you don't like it
- change it back. I got the mod from a unknown source, so it has not
- yet been tested. I have heard of no complaint or problems.
- The Mod is so easy all you need is a Phillips screwdriver and
- 5min's. It's that easy. Ok here it is:
-
- 1) Remove the batteries from the unit and turn it upside
- down so the antenna is facing away from you.
-
- 2) Remove the six screws and remove the cover (be careful
- that you don't break the antenna wire)
-
- 3) Okay so far so good. Now locate the 8-pin cable.
-
- 4) Remove it carefully. Bend the second lead from the left
- to a 90'.
-
- 5) Replace the cable and make sure the lead is not touching
- anything.
-
- 6) Wa la [sic] it's done. Not so bad now huh?
-
- Okay that's it for now. If I find any newer ones I'll make
- sure to pass it on.
