Subject:DJ580T keypad mods
From:N0VKG@KD9SG.#SIL.IL.USA.NA Here are two Keypad mods for the Alinco-580T.
They are straight-forward in description :#1:First, disable the primary functions of the Keypad by Holding
down the ' FUNC ' and hitting the ' * ' Next, Hit in sequence, ' # 1 2 0 ' If ' open ' is displayed on
screen, You may use the battery for an extended period on recieve ( for ALKALINE batteries ) If ' close '
is displayed on screen, you may only use the battery down to the normal preset level ( for NI-CAD batteries )
You may switch between the settings, but turn the radio off briefly to bring the radio into the new
setting Have fun #2:First, disable the primary functions of the Keypad by Holding down the ' FUNC ' key on
the side of the radio Now hit the ' * ' key Next, hit in sequence ' # 1 2 3 ' This mod adjusts the
Auto-Dialer Setting in the Radio A number or letter will appear on screen Play with the settings only on a
simplex freq with low power Repeaters can not yet handle the slow speeds much less the fast speeds , so
this mod will be important only in the near future However, have fun with this one too Although these
mods are for the Alinco-580T/E It is believed that other Alinco products have similar mods available via
Keypad Entry Mobiles and HTs alike Send comments to N0VKG on the TOYBBS:KD9SG BBS or IPALN:KB9BPF Mailbox
