No, there is no warranty if you take the covers off for any conversion or mods. No warranty for any 10-12 meter radios unless it's bone stock never been opened and bought from a legitimate dealer.
I agree, these radios that are menu driven completely suck for Mobil operations. Especially if you can't directly see the display. They have a lot of nice features but still suck in the mobile.
They are trying hard to keep service info and schematics out of reach anymore. If we can fix them ourselves and service them then that's less they sell. Or at least that's the reasoning behind it.
That will be a hack job if you don't put the right value resistor in series with the diode. You will need a scope to properly set this mod up. Different values for different power settings and proper mic gain setting or it will be a splatter box.
bad keying diode. D-71 in that radio i believe. if you dont have the diode on hand try 2 1n4148 diodes in series instead. hope this helps.
