Subject:Re:Mods for Alinco DRM06?
From:Mike@g4kfk.demon.co.uk (Mike Gathergood) > Anyone have any
information on the new Alinco DRM06 6 meter radio I have one of those here The bands a bit quiet over here,
and as you might have seen in uk.radio.amateur there is a very heated debate over the proposed repeater
network on 51 MHz > According to a very informed source there is a mod, but this person would > not tell me

> you like Simple trick to extend receive range to 40.00 - 59.99 MHz:1/ Power the radio off 2/ Power on
whilst holding in the CALL / CH SP button That's it! To go back to 50.00 - 53.99 just repeat the above
steps I have done this to my DRM06 and can confirm it works There's a hardware mod for extended
transmit/receive I have NOT done this, but have been assured by the Technical Editor of a respected UK ham
radio magazine that it's ok The coverage will become 40.000 to 72+ MHz, though I understand that the power
falls off at the top end, and the receiver performance is lousy on the (UK only) 70.000 to 70.500 (4m) ham
band:1/ Remove the front panel (I know that's easier said than done That's why I haven't tried it yet!) 2/
Locate a pair of solder blobs on the pcb directly behind the display and short them together 3/ Re-assemble
(again, easier said than done) Hope this helps 73 Mike G4KFK The CQ Centre BBS Node 1 - 44 1753 595468 Node
