Kenwood TS-590S Extended TX Mod
- Thread starter Moleculo
- Start date
This mod worked perfect.
NOTE: The way I removed the resistor was by taking a small pair of diagonal cutters.
Position the cutter across the center of the resistor.
NOT to deep....DON'T touch the board !
Just lightly squeeze the cutters.
The resistor will break like glass !
I just flipped the radio over blew out the tiny particles.
Reassemble and reset the radio.
With this method:
NO damage....NO heat....NO damage to the pads or board.

I was told the MARS Mod had been done on my rig. I still don't have transmit capabilities between 30 and 32 MHz. Verified the resisitor is gone and did a reset. Still will not transmit above 30 MHz. Thanks in advance for any help.
I am wanting to hook up a 2 meter transverter, but unless I can open up between 30 and 32 I will be missing part of the 2 meter band, any ideas?
One from the Transverter Store, I think Austria. I did a little more digging and found one that works from 26 to 30 mhz.
