CX 46 tn1 CONVERSON TO 11 METERS

Just bought this Connex C46 TN1 . Didnt know it is a 10 meter radio. 28 MHz. I need 11meter 27MHZ. How do I convert to 11 meters

I have never opened one but most Connex radios require removing a group of 4 or 5 resistors. Takes 10 seconds.

•Remove lid
•Radio facing you
•Front right portion of the top of the board. If there are several small resistors there, clip them, being careful not to pull them away from the board.

Take a pic of that section so that you have a working pic of the radio first.

If there are no resistors, it’s possible the radio came with a plug, or a dongle.

Maybe someone else will chime in.

It would help to know the board number.

Another option I mentioned was the dongle like in the Connex 3400, at least at some point in its manufacturing.

[esit - added] And if they didn’t include the dongle, you can short two of the jumpers with solder or a jumper like on a computer board.

WHERE ARE THE 2 JUMPERS ?
 
If you'll have a look at the solder side of the front corner of the main pc board, under the channel selector, you should see a handful of one-eighth Watt resistors, usually 100 ohm. They will be stretched across the solder side of the board near the board's outer edge. Simply removing them usually does the job. No need for a soldering iron. Diagonal cutters with small-enough jaws will work.

Good morning. Thanks for the info. Yes I have 4 resister that I will clip. . I didn't do my homework when I bought it. I already have a 10 meter radio. A new radio and I have to snip it. Reminds me of something, LOL.

cut one end of the resisters or cut both ends removing them completely ?

    hello

    Hambones the entire amp section would have to be retuned, and the rf transformers re wrapped.
