Conductive ink is a good alternative to soldering

All the best Tito Nash with Thanks

Hi Tito Nash, how was your 60 Meter / 5 Mhz before the mod??? Is it working?

[@g0lzx]

did you notice by doing this mod you only get 100w out of the MP and NOT 200watts ???

[@n4shxradio]

@g0lzx no not really, however since I have to use an external tunner I can only get 100w outside of where my antenna is tuned, if that makes sense. Is that something you've observed?

[@g0lzx]

@n4shxradio yes I did the mod today and when I went into the menu the maximum output I could dial in was 100watts, once I undid the mod and did a reset I got the 200w back ? Very strange 🤔

[@n4shxradio]

@g0lzx very odd... mine, still pushes 200w, firmware maybe?

[@g0lzx]

@n4shxradio I'm running the latest firmware ?? The only other possibility is the rest of the diode matrix settings? I'll investigate more .. thanks for the video by the way .. 73

[@n4shxradio]

@g0lzx There are different versions available: the American, International, and Japanese versions. The differences depend on the region, and each version has its own nuances.

Of course, modifying the radio to operate on CB voids the warranty.

To be exact, it has ability to boot into CB repeater mode
