   • You should see on top of board with top cover off
     OP1 OP2 OP3 = All closed for legal Frequencies
     OP3 = Desolder to enable rU and PX

     Some models were a little different but mostly if your radio has all 3 closed then desolder OP3

5. Hello. looking for info: a friend have the ALBRECHT AE 4200. His FM -modulation is verry verry quiet. Which controller in the device on the board is responsible for this? Or … where can I fix the fm mod higher on the board?

   • Best ask at Albrecht as depends which version he has to what board is inside the radio. Dragon or Otherwise. But on many radios the FM is either quiet, dull, not sounding good.

    • High Power is not switchable. Power is around 10 watts or so. Better is get an amplifier then it’s switchable and doesn’t stress the radio

    • Thanks for your quick reply Simon! I have the CRT Mike as mentioned with a President New York on my car and was looking at getting the most out of them. I like to have them permanently set up and a long antenna is not practical for me (i do have one ML-145 in the boot if needed though).

    • Hi Michael. Nice combination and almost same as mine. The place to modify it is here: https://simonthewizard.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/crt-mike-hl-power.xls I’m same as you in antenna can’t have long when driving. I use currently New York with CRT One N and guess it’s 15 watts or Barry AM/FM similar power.. The difference with where you’ll get with just the extra few watts is not worth it ultimately.

    • Hi Simon. I agree it’s not worth it. I’m not after crazy wattage, just that little bit extra to get me out there..many times i can hear people but my setup just doesnt get that far out. Rather than opening up the radio i might just leave it. If it was something selectable from the radio’s menu, i wouldve been all up for it, like when you select the band and can get EU (1w AM) or EUH (4w AM), for example.

13. No luck on opening up the frequency on ALINCO DR-438H. There’s literally nothing online that even mentions how it’s done. Just says on sites that sell the radio, that it’s modifiable via software. It IS only for frequencies within the frequency band set on the radio. They make out as though you can change the version via software, but it’s BULL. I payed £160 for the radio, and that’s excluding cable. Can’t use it on 446MHz! Put away in its box until I know how to open up the frequency. Merry Christmas Simon, and whoever is reading this!

    • Yes but there is two softwares
      A: Programming

      You do change via software, just software not released to all. Plus, I’ve checked and it unlocks via key routine.

19. If i Press F then turn on the radio in legal mode, I can choose EU, PL, D & U etc! & i have tried them all but No UK FM, I tried cycling through the modes too, but No UK FM, so it seem’s i would have to rejoin the white wire too maybe 😦

      Turn on radio press F
      Turn channel change till it shows U
      Press F till it stops flashing (1 second)
      Turn on radio and it will show 27.185 AM band EU
      Press I think AM FM maybe and it goes to U which is UKFM
      The radio defaults in EU mode on UK 40 and you need select it like it says in manual. It is in EU/UK mode

    • http://tinyurl.com/y9ax4xjt That shows how to get A channels and 0 ending in export mode. As the UK is open for use multi norm not all countries are. So, the white wire helps if move jumper and not cut wire makes CEPT only so disable multi norm.
      Wire joined jumper moved CEPT
      Wire cut jumper moved EXPORT

23. ok, thanks simon, mine is the standard grant ii, so if i resoldered the wire & moved the jumper back, would i regain the UK FM mode like it was before the mod?, also, in export mode will the FM/AM & SSB have more power, if so, do you know roughly how much it will be?

    • Yep just move the jumper no need to attach the wire just move jumper.
      FM 4w AM 4w & SSB 9-11w
      If the jumper is in export mode its around 8w FM 5w AM and 9-11w SSB so nothing lost at all

    • Hi Mike, All Presidents FM is always lower than AM.. Remember it’s set to around 1.8khz which is legal norm.. Myself I’d change to a Power mike or similar was not worth wasting warranty. It’s adjustment right hand side one of the W’s. I can’t put it here as too many google engineers make mess of good radios, especially this year.
