- SUBJECT: PRO-2005 mod
- 1. Unplug the radio
- 2. Remove the screws and take off the top cover.
- 3. Look for D502 on the inside right hand-side of the front panel.
- (No need to unsolder the silver plate protecting the vertical board!)
- 4. Simply cut the diode and reverse the process.
- 5. You now have complete cellular band coverage!!
- Of course, according to the EPCA law, you are not allowed to listen to these
- freqs. The mod works for me. Proceed at your own risk de KB2BBW.

- There is a socket that is not marked so it will be referred to as D501.
-
- D501 and D503 removed : Scan rate of 6/12 cps
- D501 only installed : Scan rate of 7/14 cps
- *D503 only installed : Scan rate of 8/16 cps
- D501 and D503 installed : Scan rate of 10/20 cps (horray!)
- *D502 installed : Disable 823.95-850.95 MHz and
- 868.95-895.95 MHz
- D502 removed : Full coverage from 760-1300 MHz
- D504 installed : Normal spacing for all bands.
- *D504 removed : Enable 30 kHz spacing in areas
- restored by D502 removal
- * = Stock US model configuration

- | Modifications for the 2004 |
- +----------------------------+
-
- 1. Remove diode from "513" to get excluded 800 MHz freqs.
- 2. Install a 1N914 diode in "514" to increase scan rate to 10/20
- channels-per-second.
- 3. Install a 1N914 diode in "510" to get the extra 100 channels.
- 4. Remove diode from "D-44" to restore missing frequencies in th
- 806 to 960MHz band.
- 5. Remove diode from "D-45" to restore coverage from 68 to 88MHz.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- In step 5 above, I have no idea what this is for. My 2004 came
- from the store already scanning this range, and this was the first
- I had ever heard of it. The same goes for step 4. When I removed
- D513 (as in step 1), I got those freqs back. Perhaps the user who
- originally posted these had a radio from a different production
- run. All I can "vouch" for is steps 1, 2, and 3.
