The question begs to be asked!
Can this scanner be modified to allow more bands?
​
The answer is YES!
​
Below is how it is done!
​
More testing is required to see if in fact the scanner can receive these bands.
As you see above, 66-88 and 806-956mhz can be inabled!
​
For 66-88mhz, move the resistor located on the right, too the location marked in yellow, this add's 66-88mhz band. NOTE: 29-54mhz is removed by this mod!
​
For 806-956mhz, move the resistor directly below the the empty solder pads too the location marked in yellow above that resistor. NOTE: No bands are lost!
​
There seem's to be a rather interesting drawback with adding the 800mhz band.
​
There ALSO appears to be a drop in receiver sensitivity on the VHF and AIR band due too this modification.
I will reverse the 800mhz band to verify my findings.
​
After some careful testing with the service monitor, there was NO drop in receiver sensitivity as i had first thought. So, we are still good to go in this part of the modification.
​
The next modification is too keep the back light on 100% of the time once that button is pressed on the front panel.
Add resistor for 800mhz band edge restore.
