          EXTENDED FREQUENCY RX AND TX OF THE ALR22T & ALR22HT
          ALINCO 2 METER RADIOS.

      BEWARE OF ANY STATIC WHEN WORKING WITH THIS RADIO !!!

  1 Remove the top and bottom covers of the radio.
  2 Remove the 4 screws that hold the front panel assembly to the main
    chassis.
  3 Pull front panel away from the main chassis very gently.
  4 Locate the Volume\Squelch pot on the left side of the radio.
  5 Locate the VFO control on the left side of the radio.
  6 Between the two above units is an IC that runs vertically between
    the two units. (ONLY THE 12 PINS OF THE IC ARE SEEN FROM THE BACK)
  7 After locating the IC locate 3 sets of unsoldered jumper pads between
    the IC pins.
  8 Make a solder bridge between the top 2 pads,then the middle 2 pads,then
    between the bottom 2 ONLY of the bottom set of 3 pads.

  9 RE-ASSEMBLE RADIO .
 10 RESET MICROPROCESSOR.
 11 This mod will extend the RX range as well as the TX range of the above
    unit.The display will have a range   from 29mhz to 299 mhz but this is
    just an erroneos display as the PLL on a typical radio will rx between
    130 mhz and 180mhz with a TX range that may be a little beyond these
    these frequencies.
