- FT-411 MODIFICATION
- ===================
-
- I have this hand held, and by playing with it, I discovered a nice trick to
- increase its frequency coverage. It is so simple that you don't even have to
- open your hand held.
- All you have to do is:
-
- 1. Make sure that the power switch is off.
- 2. press the UP arrow and DOWN arrows together, at the same time. (those keys
- are also called A, and B.) They are located at the upper right side of
- the keypad)
- 3. Keep both buttons pressed while turning the power on.
-
- Now you can receive 130-174Mhz, and transmit 140-150Mhz
-
- CAUTION: When you do this modification the memories can be erased.

- 1) If after programming the rig as above, you wish to change it to other
- ranges you will have to open the rig again and disconnect jumper No. 3.
- Then apply power to the radio and turn it on and off. Open it again,
- connect jumper No. 3 and continue from step 5.
