CAREFULLY OPEN THE FRONT COVER AND OPEN THE RADIO. 5. NOTE LOCATION OF WHITE PAPER INSULATOR ANDE REMOVE IT(DON'T THROW AWAY) 6. LOCATE JUMPERS LOCATION J13 AND REMOVE SOLDERJUMPER. DO NOT DO BOTH JUMPER PADS 13 & 15. 7. REPLACE THE PAPER INSULATOR MAKING SURE THE GROUND TABS SLIDE THROUGH INSULATOR. 8. CLOSE RADIO BEING CARFUL NOT TO PINCH ANY WIRES. 9. REPLACE ALL SCREWS. 10. REPLACE BATTERY AND ANTENNA. 11. PRESS AND HOLD BOTH [UP] & [DOWN] ARROW BUTTONS AND TURN POWER ON.. TONE BURST - JUMPER PAD #12/ STOCK PADS SOLDERED: 1, 3, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15.

HI, THIS MESSAGE IS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DONE THE PAD 13 MOD TDS OR KEY INPUTS PLEASE SEND TO I have a comment on the FT530 mod. Near the end of the instructions there is a warning not to transmit out of band; maybe a comment should be added to remind users that the FT530 can store a separate transmit frequency (not just an offset). I did this for the items I stored in memory, that were in the extended transmit range. This way if I ever make a mistake, I transmit on a HAM frequency, not the public service freq I was listening to..
