TM231A.3 WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, IS TO SOLDER A DIODE TO THE PADS LOCATED UNDER THE TONE SWITCH. (S205) THIS IS D209 ON THE SCHEMATIC. YOU WILL PROBABLY NOTICE HOW SMALL AND HOW THINLY SPACED THE PADS ARE, AND YOU WILL BE WONDERING HOW THAT BIG DIODE IS GOING TO FIT!... 2) MAKING THE MOD --YOU WILL HAVE TO FABRICATE YOUR OWN SMT DIODE. DO THIS BY BENDING THE LEADS OF THE DIODE UNDER THE BODY AND CLIPPING THE REMAINING LEAD LENGTHS SO THAT SPACE BETWEEN THE LEADS ARE EQUAL TO THE SPACING OF PADS ON THE BOARD. THE DIODE MUST BE POSITIONED SO THAT THE CATHODE IS POINTING DOWN, TOWORD THE CPU CHIP. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. 3) RESET THE CPU. PRESS THE MR BUTTON AND TURN THE RADIO ON. THAT'S IT, JUST CONNECT POWER, ANTENNA AND THE MICROPHONE. TURNING ON THE POWER WILL RESET THE RADIO ERASING ALL MEMORIES. OH WELL...
