-
- The following modification to the Alinco DJ-560-T will enable it to xmit
- out of band. Rumor: may also enable cross-band repeat.
-
- 1. Turn power off.
- 2. Remove battery.
- 3. Unscrew stainless steel battery connector plate. This is the rectangular
- s/s plate found at the bottom of the unit and is held in place with (4)
- small chromed, phillips head screws.
- 4. Remove Antenna.
- 5. Unscrew the one black head, phillips head screw found immediately adjacent
- to the BNC.
- 6. Carefully remove the grey DIAL, UHF and VHF plastic knobs.
- 7. Unscrew the lock ring nuts that are found under each of the three sets
- of knobs.
- 8. Gently remove the plastic top cover on the unit.
- 9. Unscrew the (4) black head phillips screws that hold the body halves
- together.
- 10. Place the unit face down on a work surface that is covered with a towel
- or a similar soft cloth. This will protect the unit from being marred
- while you work on it.
- 11. Gently separate the two body halves about 1/2" to 3/4".
- 12. Cut the ORANGE wire loop and reseal the exposed ends with heat shrink
- tubing.
- (NOTE: if your DJ-560T is serial numbered from #0636-0705, the loop will
- be YELLOW in color! However whichever the color, cut only the
- loop! It will be the only loop to be found!)
- 13. Reassemble the unit in the reverse order of the above instructions.
- 14. Reset the CPU by holding the 'F' key (above the PTT key) down and turning
- on the unit.
-
- This mod was supplied by a major amateur radio dealer. Several have tried it
- and it works. One caution: The black screws that hold the back on are *real*
- cheeeep. Use a screw driver of exactly the right size or you're likely to
- strip the heads.
