it involves wiring an external switch to the pll circuit
but thats all i can tell you
Transmitting on the WARC bands
As supplied, The ts-130S/V will receive but not transmit on the three warc bands.
For tx enable on all three bands unplug the brown wire j5 on the rf unit. This is the board with the shaft from the band switch running above it. For individual bands D8 for 10 MHz D9 " 18 MHz D10 " 24.5 MHz
The Mod will disable 10M and the readout display will read 2 Mhz off or if you do the extensive mod will show the 27 MHZ properlly but the 26 MHZ will be off.
Check the CD for CB Tricks Modifications 29 Books,the mod is there,I lost my copy but I done it before to 3 radios with great results.
The mod use some diodes for the readout modification.
I traded for a kenwood TS 130S and it has been modded for 11 meters... I would like to know the mod so it can be UNDONE... the mod causes 28Mhz to be 26 Mhz and 29 Mhz to be 27 Mhz , doing away with all 28 and 29 Mhz freqs so can mod be UNDONE ? thanks sam
if you do cut the yellow stripe wire, you'll have no power anyway so the mod is lame. You'll have to set the BPF on a scope for 27mhz
18mhz wont work either
Ham radio operators (VHF/UHF) should pay attention to enhanced radio propagation paths throughout the middle latitudes and equatorial region, a common occurrence following such events.
Had "Aurora" propagation on CW/SSB on 6m last evening. (300-700m range here) The 2m guys had lots of Ducting/TROPO between the East Coast and Gulf Coast op's, even early today.
