- FT-470 mod extended VHF xmit....

- Here's the mod for the FT-470. (I have not performed it myself)
- 1. Remove Cover
- 2. Remove Lithium battery carefully
- 3. On left hand side locate some empty vertical pads, one above the other.
- It should be marked as R-69. There is also a chip resistor R-67 that
- is just below it to the left a bit.
- 4. Place a solder jumper across the two R-69 pads.
- 5. Reinstall the lithium battery.
- 6. Closeup the Radio.
- 7. Turn the radio off. While pressing down the up and down arrow keys,
- turn the radio back on.
-
- Note: This mod only opens up the VHF transmit frequency range
- beyond 140 to 150. The automatic repeater offset will
- be defeated so you will have to enter the +/- offset yourself.
