I just scored an Icom P7 (Japanese version, not the P7A) on eBay, and I tried to do the suggested extended transmit mod, since it doesn't provide full US 2m/70cm coverage. I was going to do this by removing the diodes behind the access panel behind the battery and then doing a full reset of the radio (FUNC + SQL + V/M while powering on the radio). However, it only had a diode on the far left position (away from the PTT switch) and nothing on the two positions closest to the PTT switch. Is it possible to open up the transmit on this version of the radio?
Many thanks in advance.
