- Remove the bottom and top covers and remove the front panel cover. You
- must then remove the front board by carefully unpluging it (try not to
- touch the lcd display). On the back of this board which is the control
- unit locate jumpers 1 through 12 and unsolder any that are soldered. All
- jumpers must be open (1-12 only). Reinstall the control unit and just
- turn on the radio for a few seconds. now turn it off again and remove
- the control unit again and solder jumpers 3, 4, 5, 11 only.
-
- Put everything back together and apply power. The display will read 000.
- Push the MHz button and rotate the main dial until 132.000 reads on the
- display, then press D/MR once. Now press again the MHz button and rotate
- to 180.000 and press the D/MR again.
-
- the radio is now programmed to operate from 132 to 180 mhz. mine has tx
- and rx through the entire spectrum with excellent sensitivity from 136
- to 178. Dont forget that transmitting outside the amateur band is not
- allowed so please consult your local athorities for a special permit.
