Kenwood had printed some instructions that said to not to cut it, but the result was poor sensitivity, birdies, etc. Perhaps this is related to your problem? 73, -- -- James Dugal, N5KNX Internet: jpd@usl.edu Associate Director Ham packet: n5knx @k5arh (land), UO-22 (sat.)

At the time, I wasn't interested in doing the mod, so I didn't save it. This is not to be confused with the mod to add an extra antenn for 800 MHz. My 741 works just fine receiving from 420 to about 470 or so, with apparently very good sensitivity. I have R54 and R55 cut and the green wire cut. If anyone who is following this thread is aware of the 800 MHZ sensitivity mod (repeat, not the seperate 800 MHZ antenna mod) why not share it with the rest of us? 73 -- |Marc Grant | Internet: marcbg@feenix.metronet.com |POB 850472 | Amateur Radio Station N5MEI |Richardson, TX 75085| Fax: 214-231-0025 Voice: 214-231-3998 - .... .- - ... .- .-.. .-.. ..-. --- .-.. -.- ...
