TH78A.11 ============================================================================= EXPANDED FREQUENCY COVERAGE: The TH-78a will recieve far beyond it's factory settings. It will also transmit outside it's normal range to some extent (of course thats not legal, now is it?). By removing diode D5 the frequecy tuning will be expanded. New ranges include: 121-170 Mhz transmit and receive 400-500 Mhz transmit and receive 300-399 Mhz receive and 800-999 Mhz receive only To get 300 & 800 Mhz coverage place the TH-78a in VFO mode. Press the "F" key for longer than one second, then press the "BAND" button. The sensitivity of the radio is not good in the 800-999 Mhz range. I have not tested it personally yet, but rumour has it that it's pretty bad. ============================================================================= end of part 2
