- FT 212RH extended freq. coverage mod.
- =====================================
-
- Remove the bottom and top covers and remove the front panel cover. You must
- then remove the front board by carefully unplugging it (don't touch the LCD
- display). On the back of this board, which is the control unit, locate jumpers
- 1 through 12 and unsolder any that are soldered.
- All jumpers (1-12 only) must be open.
- Reinstall the control unit and turn on the radio for a few seconds.
- Now turn it off, remove the control unit again and solder jumpers 3, 4, 5
- and 11 only.
- Put everything back together and apply power.
- If all is well, the display will read 000.
- Press the MHz button and rotate the main dial until 132.000 is shown on the
- display, then press D/MR once.
- Now press the MHz button again and rotate the main dial until 180.000 is
- shown. Press D/MR once more.
-
- The radio is now programmed to operate from 132 to 180MHz. Mine has Tx and
- Rx through the entire spectrum with excellent sensitivity from 136 to 178.
- Don't forget that transmitting outside the amateur band is not allowed, so
- please don't break your licence terms.
