It will disable the squelch used to keep the user from hearing the phase lock circuit as he/she changes. It also keeps a person from being able to "scan the band" and hear all he/she scans. Anyway, remove the cover and circuit board. If the user doesn't have the external power supply, they will need to remove the unit's batteries an hour before they do the mod. If they don't, they will believe they have zapped the radio. The radio's memory needs to be fully discharged. After they have done this, remove C167. It's a 1 microfarad capacitor near the volumn control. My mod's been in effect for two months without any "odd" influences to the radio. CUL. Phil Heaton. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Information Gateway - Public Access Usenet and Email - +1 404-928-7873 Please reply to: heaton@info-gw.mese.com heaton@info-gw.dragon.com
