- This is just to confirm that the modification that was posted to the
- Alinco DR110T also works on the DR112T (same radio, but with an LCD
- display as opposed to the DR110T's LED display). Pop the cover, cut
- one wire, reset the radio, and PRESTO! Instant expanded coverage.
-
- I verified that the radio will receive the National Weather Service.
- However, I haven't tried listening to the 300 MHz or 800 MHz segments
- the radio now covers. I have no idea how well (or how poorly) the
- receiver performs at those frequencies.

- for reference, here is the DR110 mod file:
-
- After installing the out-of-band receive mod on my Alinco 110, I
- accidentally pressed a couple of keys and found I could receive
- from:
- 130 -> 170 MHz + Xmit of this range
- 340 -> 380 MHz - no Xmit
- 870 -> 890 MHz - no Xmit
-
- To modify the Alinco to receive out of band, perform the
- following steps:
-
- Remove the top cover by removing the obvious screws. Be careful,
- as the speaker may stick to the cushion on the top cover. If it
- does, separate the speaker from the top panel and replace it back
- in its receptacle within the rig.
-
- Positioned at the front of the rig, look near the tuning knob and
- you will see a little yellow jumper coming from behind the front
- panel, looping around and returning to the front panel. This
- jumper looks like it should have a tag on it saying 'cut me for
- more features'. Go ahead and take the wire cutters to this jumper.
- Be careful that the cut ends don't short to something!
-
- Replace the top cover on the rig, get everything set back up and
- turn on the rig.
-
- The next step is to reset the radio. If you don't remember its
- current programming, you may want to write it down at this time.
-
- When ready to reset the rig, hold down the F key and the VFO/M
- key at the same time, turn the POWER off, back on, and then let
- go of the keys. The rig is reset and will display 144.00.
-
- You will now be able to tune around, and transmit, from 130.00 ->
- 169.99 MHz.
-
- To move to the next 'band segment', press F and then the MHZ key.
- The display will go the 340.00 MHz segment. F+MHZ again will get
- you cellular, and F+MHZ a third time will return you to the 2
- meter segment. Happy monitoring...

- Note: I haven't tried or verified this, proceed at your own risk. WA2ISE
- And don't transmit out of band!
