ts830 mod

so,, I have an older model that requires the wire mod to let the warc bands work. It has been done. There is a switch on the back. One other guy owned it, and the previous owner was a freebander. But nothing I can do will get this rig on 11 meters. Is the warc mod the same as 11 meter mod? What am I missing here?

The WARC mod is for the ham bands that got legalized after that radio was sold, 10 MHz and 18 MHz, pretty sure.

11 meters calls for changing a couple or more wires. Haven't done one in 20-plus years, but the info should be on file at the shop somewhere. Maybe under a 20-year deep pile of other stuff. I'll see if I can track it down.

Ok, I know more on what's going on. I looked at a mars mod on here for my radio, and it has been done. But when I flip the switch, all the warc bands go out, as in the freq counter goes blank. It also go's blank on 10meter switch, but other than 18,24,1.8, this doesn't happen anywhere else. Odd uh? I'm wondering if someone has changed something else? (crystal) Other than this, my radio works flawless... Oh yeah, it goes blank on 10 meters when you hit the plus 5 khz button
