work with the UHF radio as well, just use
Common Sense When You Open Up the
Radio If it works Leave the Bloody thing alone
And it will Kiss YA butt

Radios on UHF have a common Division
Ratio of 160 well most have anyway
VHF have Div ratio of 400
Please Correct me if im Wrong Im open to suggestion
To get 25Khz Steps on UHF
you
need div of 160, links should be
(n/r not required) (req required)
302n/r
303req
304req
305n/r
306req
307n/r
308req
309n/r
311req
312n/r
313req 314n/r
For 12.5Khz Steps A div of
320 Is required
302req
303n/r
304n/r
305req

(3) I
Can Only Get DX to The end of the Street
RX Seems very low Refer to the
Tune up Text File
It will Tell You The Basics But
If You Must Know Now its the Big Mother
In the middle of the Rx board The
Can that is
UHF Has Nuts On it While VHF Has
Just the holes on the board
Connect A multi meter to the S
point on The RX board on the Mk2 its above SK202
MARKED S
(can also be used as a signal meter tap)
tune Slugs So you get Max Reading
on VM About 1.45v run up and down
the slugs till you are satisfied
ya have got the RX you Want
This Is only A course adjustment
only and requires A scope to do it properly
(4) Selcall CTSS RTB

Kit In it Notably the NSC810AN
In socket IC415 & all its components
