Check out this article: Brazilians using 2 meter radios, converting them to work around 300mhz and tapping into the U.S. Navy's satellites for remote communications.

It says you can find the parts & instructions on how to convert the 2m rig online. I'm sure it won't take someone here too long to find it, but don't try this in the U.S. unless you like federal prison a lot.

The Navy's not too happy about it....


The Great Brazilian Sat-Hack Crackdown
 

If this is even real, I'm sure the loophole will be closed quickly enough. You would think all military communications satellites are encripted access.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
