Hi - I was wondering if anyone had tried the full mod on the VX-3. I pulled the jumper, but apparently you can enable 120-220 with the following (from KB2LJJ Radio Mods Database and Manuals ):

1. Set mode 19-CWID to AH028M
-power on, then press and hold SET to go to SET function
-turn the dial to 19-CWID
-press SET and turn to ON
-press V/M to text enter screen
-dial one character by one, press V/M for next character, to set it
to AH028M, press 2 more V/M to leave text enter screen
-press SET to go back to SET function

2. Power off

3. Press and hold both MODE key and TXPO key, then power on

4. You will not see voltage screen this time. Instead there are
operation modes for your choice (B1, C1, F1, ***, HAM, H1, A1, etc.):

!!Remember to record what mode you're initially in!!

For SECOND MENU (A3, B3, C3, D3, ***, HAM, etc...) OR (A1, B1, C1, D1, H1, ***, HAM, etc...) Turn the dial and press MODE then press F/W to set.

Your rig is now operates on a new mode!

I cannot get to step 4 - I always get the voltage screen.

Many thanks for any help!
 

Could you please quote a Link or even better a picture that shows which SMD/Jumper has to be removed ?

I can´t find something like that. That homepage you named doesnt work.

Sorry for my english, i´m from germany.

    I will not be there but hopefully by the end of this month I will have my New tower and antennas back in the air including my M2 6M5X. The old tower and all of my antennas came down in October 2023 during a Hurricane.
