TH78A.17

------------Late Model Kenwood TH-78A HT Modification--------------------------

HI ALL, I HAVE THE MOD FOR THE KENWOOD TH78A LATER MODEL HANDHELD TRANSCEIVER.
YOU CAN TELL IF YOUR UNIT IS A EARLY OR LATE VERSION BY THE ADDITION OF 2
GREEN JUMPERS NEAR THE CN1 SOCKET, THE LATER VERSION HAS THE 2 GREEN WIRES,
TO MOD THIS RADIO FOR MARS/CAP WITH EXTENDED COVERAGE DO THE FOLLOWING:
CUT JUMPER W1 AND REMOVE DIODE D3, AND FOR CROSS BAND REPT. REMOVE D4.
I HAVE NOT TRIED THESE MODS SO DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK BUT THIS MOD IS FROM
KENWOOD SO SHOULD WORK FINE, ONE NOTE ABOUT THE MOD BE AWAIR THAT THIS RADIO
USES MICRO SIZED SURFACE MOUNT COMPONENTS AND IS VERY DELICATE, AND THE LARGE
BRASS SHIELD MUST BE REMOVED TO ALOW YOU TO WORK ON THE DIODE MATRIX WELL 
73 AND GOOD LUCK DE BRET WX7Y @WX7Y
