  Extended RX and TX for DJ-M06T  
     

There's a hardware mod for extended transmit/receive. I have NOT done this, but have been assured by the Technical Editor of a respected UK ham radio magazine that it's ok. The coverage will become 40.000 to 72+ MHz, though I understand that the power falls off at the top end, and the receiver performance is lousy on the (UK only) 70.000 to 70.500 (4m) ham band:
 
  1. Remove the front panel (I know that's easier said than done. That's why I haven't tried it yet!)

     
  2. Locate a pair of solder blobs on the pcb directly behind the display and short them together.

     
  3. Re-assemble (again, easier said than done).
