DJ560

             N2MODification File for ALINCO DJ560 Extended UHF Coverage
             ----------------------------------------------------------
In order to increase the transmit coverage of the ALINCO DJ-560,it is
necessary to remove chip capacitor C18,rated at 4 PicoFarads.
 This capacitor is located on the UHF VCO subboard inside a metal
shield.
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to have a service manual to locate the capacitor.
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you be comfortable around SMT components
before attemping this MOD.
This MOD is difficult due to the fact that the HT must be disassembled,
the RF board must be removed,the UHF VCO subboard must be unsoldered from
the RF board,then the metal shield from the subboard must be unsoldered
 to gain access to the component
Using specrum analyzer and dummy load,transmit range before MOD:
425.100 - 467.500   42.400 MHZ coverage
Transmit range after MOD:
432.500 - 503.600   71.100 MHZ coverage!
By adjusting L5,this 71.1 spread can be made to 'fit' the range of
frequencies you desire,since the 71.1 spread stays constant with L5
manipulation.
If desired, SASE will get you the portions of the service manual
pertinent to this MODification.
