  1. Press (F)unction and Set (Moni) buttons and release.
  2. Press V/M once to display LOC.
  3. Rotate VFO until FL is also displayed.
  4. Press PTT briefly once.
  5. Press (F)unction briefly once.
  6. Press V/M briefly twice.
  7. Press MW briefly once.
  8. Press Set (Moni) briefly twice.
    At this point the display should briefly show "Open".
  9. Press (F)unction and Set (Moni) buttons and release.
  10. Rotate VFO until KL or FL are no longer displayed.
  11. Press PTT briefly once.

The radio is now in the wide band mode and will remain there until a factory reset is performed ((F)unction pressed whilst turning on) be aware however that a reset will erase ALL memories.

To turn the DJ190E back to European Mode repeat steps 1-11 above (at step 8. the display should briefly show "Closed" instead of "Open").

An alternative (permanent) method is to remove R79 for receive range only, or R79 and either R1008 or R99 (depending on PCB version).

Some people have said that you may then have to go through the steps listed above once or twice to activate. You should be aware however that this will invalidate your warrantee.
