Subject: DJ580T. keypad mods
From: N0VKG@KD9SG.#SIL.IL.USA.NA
Here are two Keypad mods. for the Alinco-580T. They are straight-forward in
description. :
#1:
First, disable the primary functions of the Keypad by Holding down the
' FUNC ' and hitting the ' * '. Next, Hit in sequence, ' # 1 2 0 '.
If ' open ' is displayed on screen, You may use the battery for an
extended period on recieve ( for ALKALINE batteries ) . If ' close '
is displayed on screen, you may only use the battery down to the normal
preset level ( for NI-CAD batteries ) . You may switch between the
settings, but turn the radio off briefly to bring the radio into the
new setting. Have fun.
#2:
First, disable the primary functions of the Keypad by Holding down the
' FUNC ' key on the side of the radio. Now hit the ' * ' key.
Next, hit in sequence ' # 1 2 3 '. This mod. adjusts the Auto-Dialer
Setting in the Radio. A number or letter will appear on screen.
Play with the settings only on a simplex freq. with low power.
Repeaters can not yet handle the slow speeds much less the fast speeds
, so this mod. will be important only in the near future. However,
have fun with this one too.
Although these mods. are for the Alinco-580T/E. It is believed that other
Alinco products have similar mods. available via Keypad Entry. Mobiles and
HTs alike.
