Modifications for the Kenwood TH-D7E

Modifications for the Kenwood TH-D7E
TH-D7E extended RX

From: PA0HWB@PI8HWB.#NBW.NLD.EU

As a former owner of a TH79E and now playing with the TH-D7E, i wondered if RX-EXTENSION was as simpel as just cutting one wire...

The answer is YES..... just follow these steps :

Remove the battery-pack
Remove the 4 srews on the backside-edges
Remove the 2 knobs on top of the TH-D7E (volume and scrolling)
Remove the nuts of the antenna-connector and the roraty switch
Remove the TOP-cover
Carefully remove the metal-embedded-printed circuitboard (don't break the rubber sealingstrip!)
Look for a little GREEN wire near the speaker-connection on the PC-board
Just CUT the GREEN WIRE
Reassemble the TH-D7E in the reverse way

Now you have extended RX :	Band A	136 - 174 Mhz
	SUBband A	118 - 136 Mhz - AM or FM
	Band B	400 - 480 Mhz

I didn't look for further command-expansion or additional options, so keep me posted for changes, related to the RX-expansion.

Enjoy your wide-range reception with the TH-D7E

Best 73, Hans Pa0hwb @ PI8HWB
