                             KENWOOD TH-78A
 
 
These are modifications  for the Kenwood  TH-78a  dual band hand  held radio.
They  have been  compiled  through correspondance  with Kenwood,  and tidbits
picked up  here and  there.  The author assumes  NO RESPONSIBILITY for  these 
mods or what they  do to your radio, or what YOU  do to your radio attempting
to perform them.  In other words, you brake it, it's your fault.
 
=============================================================================
 
CROSSBAND REPEAT:
The user manual  claims the unit will cross band  repeat out of the box, this 
is not  true.   For the  TH-78a  to cross  band repeat  you must remove diode
D4.  Unfortunately you need  to reset  the CPU  which will clear  your preset
memories (NOTE: See "cloning").   Write down  what you  have programmed  into
the TH-78a  and then  hold down  the "M" key and power up the unit.   All LCD
segments should light up.  The CPU is now reset and to  use crossband  repeat
hold the "F" key  for  longer than  1 second,  then press  the "0" key.   The
decimals in the displayed frequencies will flash indicating crossband repeat.
