DR135T all versions (T/TG/TP/TPG)
Waring:
You must have a proper license to operate on the MARS/CAP frequencies.
Alinco declines responsibilities for the use of modified equipment out
of ham bands. The warranty is void when the modification is done. The
declared specs are not applicable out of the ham bands. DR-135T operates
in the narrow FM mode TX/RX but the unit is not officially new CAP
requirements compliant.
Modification:
Turn the radio off. Disconnect the power source. Open the bottom cover
by removing the 4 screws located on each corner of the bottom cover
surfce. Locate a BLUE looped jumper wire that comes out of a slot on the
back of the front control unit (it is attached to the back of the front
panel on a pad labeled JP3). Remove the jumper and trim the remaining
wire properly to prevent a short circuit.
Reassemble the bottom cover. Connect the power source and turn on the
unit with the FUNC key pressed to reset the microprocessor. Settings
will become the factory default.
The unit will transmit and receive between approximately 140 and 170
MHz where the VCO will lock. If the display is flashing, you have lost
VCO lock and operation is not possible. Alinco does not guarantee any
operations outside of the amateur bands.

[Good luck, but don't blame me if you foul-up your new radio! :-) ]
