I want to add one more note to this mod, Overall what you are doing is

adding 15k-ohm resistance to R-147. For a total resistance of 54k-ohms.

YOU ARE NOT REPLACING THE 39k WITH 15K.

I recently aquired a realistic Pro-2021 and since you do not have

the cellular mod for this posted i thought i would send it over.

Its not that hard to figure out if you have done a mod before.



To restore 68MHz to 88MHz and 806MHz to 960MHz just find the row of diode

slots on the lower left of the scanner and remove the only two diodes

there which are D44 and D45. tada
