1. Remove 17 screws holding on the bottom and top covers. The bottom
cover comes off, and the top cover is carefully removed and put next
to the radio. It is till connected via the speaker wire.
2. Gain access to the front of the unit by removing two top side
screws and loosening two bottom side screws. This allows the front
assembly to swing open.
3. Remove the shiny silver control board protection plate. This
requires removing two screws on the top and three screws on the
bottom. Lift the plate out completely.
4. Locate diode D-80 in the bottom left-hand corner. Snip it for
all-band transmit.
5. Now locate D-66 and snip. It adds 10 Hertz readout to your
digital frequency display.
6. Carefully reassemble the control plate using a magnetized tiny
screwdriver to hold the five tiny screws in place. Don't pinch any
wires. Also, close up the front and replace the top and bottom covers
with 17 screws.
7. Connect power. Depress A=B switch and turn on the power
simultaneously. This resets the microprocessor for all-band transmit
and 10 Hz frequency display.
