Here is a very simple modification for out of band transmit. Which can
have some very steep fines & penalties.
I will not be held responsible for any failure of this modification.
I have performed this on my rig and it works without a hitch!
1.) Disconnect power cord and antenna.
2.) Remove top cover of the radio.
3.) Carefully lift speaker out of it resting          place and set it
aside.
4.) You will see a GREEN wire. Cut the          GREEN wire and dress it
as not to            short it out on a metal contact.
5.) Replace the speaker and top cover            plate. Then connect
power to the radio.
6.) To complete the mod you must re-set        the CPU on the radio to
all factory             default settings. This is done by
(Please refer to User's Manual) holding      the F1 & F2 buttons in
WHILE turning        the radio ON.

NOTICE!!!!
All memory settings will be erased. Please record your memory channels
and settings before you open the radio. There is a computer program that
will do this, but I find it a better practice to get to know your radio
a little better by manually re-programming.
This will NOT open up the Cellular Rx coverage and Tx range may differ
by radio.

After submitting this mod, I received some E-mail telling me it did not
work.
I did some research and found my submission was partially incorrect.
I stated that after the green wire underneath the speaker was cut &
dressed that the radio needed to be reset by pressing F1 & F2 while
powering up the radio...THIS IS INCORRECT!!!
The correct function to re-set the microprocessor is to PRESS VFO/MR &
F1 while powering up the radio. And the wire still needs to be cut.
I appologize for any inconvience or heartache this has caused.
Please insert the usual DISCLAIMER here.
TRANSMITTING OUTSIDE YOUR CLASS OF LICENSE IS ILLEGAL AND PUNISHABLE BY
LAW.
