Dear Fellow Hams! Just in case you were unaware of this free source of information about ham radio hardware “fixes”, I chose to share this recently received electronic newsletter from www.mods.dk to which I subscribe.
While the site is hosted in Germany, the site is written in English. I’ve found lots of hard to find manuals for obscure radios, or current radios. And if you wanted to modify a radio, but didn’t know how, they usually have the instructions. Of course, I’m not trying to encourage anyone to make illegal mods, or to use their transmitter in an illegal fashion. But there are legit reasons for being able to receive or transmit out of what was “normal” when a rig was built, such as the 60 meter band that was recently opened for hams to use (few years ago). Many older HF rigs won’t go there without a mod, like the ICOM 706MKII-G, etc.
Anyway… Here is the newsletter I just received today. If you find it interesting, please visit their website and sign up for your own copy. It only comes out every 2 or 3 months.
