-
- Modification for extended coverage. (This will work for both the
- old and new CPU versions)
-
- -Remove the battery pack
-
- -locate the RAM backup switch according to your manual ( this
- will be the switch FARTHEST away from the battery terminals)
-
- -Turn the switch off, count to 4, then turn it back on
-
- -Relace the battery pack
-
- -Turn the rig on. The readout should be entirely blank. If it
- is not, you probably did not wait long enough before turning
- the switch back ON, so repeat the above procedure.
-
- -Type in the following: ' 001111 '
-
- -The rig should now come to life. You will have to reprogram
- all the memories as well as the repeater splits for both
- bands. The display will now cover 100-199, 400-499MHz, but
- bands. The display will now cover 100-199, 400-499MHz, but
- it obviously won't work over this range. Mine covers 139-
- 153, 420-460.
-
- - The reset code is in your manual
-
- [ From another source:
- The factory code to make
- the program from the factory is ( 443300 ) and if you enter those
- digits the talkie will return to normal again. However if you enter the
- code ( 601111 ) you will notice the talkie will come up in a different
- mode you can and must input 5 digits instead of 4 to input a freq.
-
- Example in the normal mode to get freq 147.06 you would enter 7060 then
- hit the dial button.
-
- In the expanded mode you would enter 47060 to get the 147.06 cause
- your display now takes and controls the last 5 digits of a freq
- instead of the normal 4.
