IC24AT.12 ------------------------------ Transmit range doesn't appear to be affected unfortunately. I was at least hoping for 420-450 coverage. BTW, I tried each amateur band from 6m to 23cm. The PLL doesn't lock up at either end. Another negative is the frequency step on 220 doesn't allow one to hit each possible repeater slot. All in all, not too bad. Now if I can get the cross-band repeater function... ------------------------------ The mods posted for the IC-24 enable the wide receive only (as far as I know). However, the good news is that there are more mods on the way such as direct entry of MHz when out of band. BTW the out-of-band sensitivity is very good (blew the doors off a BC-200xlt), except near the ends of the range. 73 de Gene WA1UXA
