Subject: Kenwood  TH-235A



Extended (MARS) frequency modification for the Kenwood TH-235A is as

follows:



1. Switch off the power and remove battery pack. Remove three (3) screws

from the back of the transceiver. Locate the DC and MIC jacks and remove

the plugs. Carfully seperate lower part of the back cover and remove

from the handheld.



2. Remove the inner partition. First lightly push the charging

electrodes and pass them through the holes of the inner partitiom.



3. Remove antenna, VOL and Tuning control knobs. Remove rubber cover

from top of radio.



4.Remove inner assembly and locate green wire soldered to two (2) pads

behind the Volume control on the PC board. Carfully unsolder one side of

the green wire, tape that end off so it will not come in contact with

any other part of the circuit.



5. Reassemble the radio, reset the microprocessor by pressing [F] and

the Power on switch at the same time.



This should allow transmit operation from 136.00 MHz to 173.995 MHz.



Remember, unless you have authorization to transmit outside the amateur

frequencies, you can risk losing your hard earned license.
