TS-180s 11 METER MOD
- Thread starter fisjr
- Start date
Dunno if it can even be done. Looked for MARS mods for the 180, and came up empty. Nice vintage radio, though...
Psssst..... you'll make the hammys mad saying that. Ask for the MARS/CAP mod or the 60 meter mod.
Same results. Politically correct terminology
Is this the mod and what does check L2 coil mean.
Unlocked all bands Check L2, (Q2 B+) in the PLL unit
Unlocked all bands Check L2, (Q2 B+) in the PLL unit
No, that just tells you what to check if the PLL is unlocked on all (stock) bands. Used for troubleshooting.
There was a WARC band kit for the 180. From what I've read, it took several coils and other misc. parts. Based on that, I think you are outta luck unless you want to hack the PLL circuit, and then you would probably take out the other bands as a result. It doesn't appear to be a simple jumper/diode cut hack like the 120, 130, 140, etc. I can't find a single successful MARS/CAP mod listed for the 180 in a google search...

There isn't one for the TS-180S. I've owned two of them. Works well on the hammy bands though :glare: Not a good radio for CBers to hack because theres really nothing to clip, snip and no "VR's" to run wide open. Awwwwww...
