To: info-hams@ucsd.edu I have read the mod file that is posted on ham.eetech.mcgill.ca but this file includes additions by three different people, each with different modifications. Can anyone who has recently bought and modified a Kenwood TH28A shed some light here for me and verify any of these mods? All I want is extended recieve from 400-520, I really don't care much about the extended transmit range. I have tried lifting one end of diode 9 as listed in the mod file, but nothing happened...the radio acted as if nothing had happend. Can anyone help me here? I prefer E-mail: snorris@trumpet.aix.calpoly.edu, but I do read this group regularly as well.

You could buy 1,000 of them and go to some country where there are no laws, and use them to equip a small army with very sophisticated communications. Each radio can be programmed with a three-digit number, and it is silent until someone calls with that number programmed into their unit. Plus there is a way to set up groups where you can key your mike and talk to everyone in the group and they can talk back. You could imagine a family (all with ham licenses) using this as a really neat way to keep in touch through many family activities -- picnics, trips to the amusement park, shopping mall, etc. -- Carl Oppedahl AA2KW (patent lawyer) 1992 Commerce Street #309 Yorktown Heights, NY 10598-4412 voice 212-777-1330 ------------------------------ End of Info-Hams Digest V93 #1342 ****************************** ******************************
