In side the rig, it really did not look quite like that ...    more like this:



...  12 (|)  (|) 11

           (|) 13

      16 (|)  (|) 15



In addition to the published receive expansion, it also receives 800-950 MHz...

trunking radio, cell phone (I would *never* listen to that), 33cm ham band...



Have fun!

MORE on the FT-530





Hi my name is Cliff (KG4FYP)



I have just recently finshed modifying my FT-530.  This mod that i am

about to reveal only works on models that have the "green wire " on the

bottom right of the keypad side of the radio.  This mod could be done

by anyone with a set of wire cutters and a small screw driver.  All you

must do remove the 3 long screws from the rear of the radio along with

the one small screw beside the power button then remove the 4 silver

screws along the battery tray and slowly open the radio at this time

you should see the green wire laying on top of the white paper insulator.

CAREFULLY cut this wire and then out the radio back togather. once you

have installed all screws place battery back on tray.  Turn on the radio

while holding the up and down arrows located on the right side of the

keypad.



Repeat this step again. Once you have powered up the radio twice while

holding the up and down arrows.  Punch in the frequency 154.570 if the

vhf side of the radio will transmit on this frequency than you have done

the mod succesfully.



Congrats and many QSO's



KG4FYP
