Has anyone done the Grant XL 10 meter mod? I believe it's the same for other similar radios.
I found instructions saying to replace crystal X3 with a 11.6908Mhz from the stock 11.325Mhz Couldn't locate a 11.6908 but I did get a 11.6900 which should be close enough.
Swap it out and tested, seems to work except it will only transmit up to channel 13. Channel 14 makes the TX/RX light flicker and anything higher does nothing.
Channel 1 = 28.06 and channel 13 works out to 28.211Mhz but can't get higher. Would like to get access 10 meter voice area 28.3 to 28.5, seems to receive fine.
Does something need to be retuned to allow it to transmit? I was expecting it to transmit on all channels poorly until adjusted, didn't expect it to do nothing at all when keying, stays in RX mode.
Yes, I do have a license to use the band.
Thanks for any help
Dave
