Gee, this radio already has such excellent coverage, what is there to mod
other than out-of-band transmit ??

I need some info on mods for the FT-470. I know that the
pads for R66, R67, R68 and R69 are used for assigning the VFH
band coverage.
What about the two pads just below R66. Should these have jumpers ? What do
they do ? Volume 6A ob the Radio Tech Mods manual shows these two jumpers
installed. The radio I have does not have them. It also doesn't work.
Anybody know the answer ?

I also have an ST 142 that was purchased for CAP. The tone board I have is
dip-switch controlled, but I don't remember the name of the manufacturer.
It seemed to me that this board was pretty easy to come by. I think I got it
from an old Dick Smith Electronics catalog. My $0.02

On Thursday I was at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco and happened to stop in
at one of the ripoff "will sell anything to anyone" no-name electronic stores
there. I found a FT-470 and asked the salesman how much it was. He told me it
was _only_ $530. Ha! I said nothing but broke out in laughter and walked out.
