- Subject: KENWOOD TH-78A MOD WARNING
-
-
- In the course of performing mods on my Kenwood TH-78A dual band handheld,
- I've discovered a potential flaw in the case design. While handling my walkie
- one day (after the mods were done), the display went blank and I could not
- turn the radio back on. With the radio split in half again, I could turn the
- radio back on but discovered all the memories were erased. The cause turned
- out to be some component pins on the front face coming in contact with the
- square bodies of the two volume/channel/squelch switches, when the case is
- screwed back together snuggly. I placed small strips of electrical tape on
- the sides of the switches to insulate, and reassembled; problem solved. Now
- I have to reprogram the darn thing....
