ANNOUNCEMENT: Mod for the ADI AR-147

AD content:
This mod will open the transceiver on the ADI AR-147 from 130 to 179
MHz. I have done it and it does work!!! (NOTE: MODIFICATION TO ANY RADO
EQUIPMENT VOIDS THE WARRANTY! DO NOT PERFORM THIS MOD IF YOU HAVE ANY
DOUBTS!)

1. Remove the screws on the bottom (2 screws) and remove the cover.

2. You will see two red jumpers. One is a loop coming up from the LCD
panel, the other is on the board itself. Cut both of these wires.

3. Replace the bottom cover.

4. Turn the radio on. Turn the radio back off. While holding the "VFO"
button, turn the radio back on. Release the button and turn the radio
back off. While holding the "MR" buton, turn the radio on.

5. Turn the radio off and on again. This completes the mod. The radio
now transmits from 130 to 179.995 MHz!

Enjoy & 73's
