ICOM IC 2300 MARS CAP?

[Sweetcracker]

Has anyone figured out how to extend the TX on this radio, ICOM got smart and made it harder then just breaking off a diode... oh well I know that you guys are way smarter then I am and hopefully we can figure it out.

Take Care

I had the 2200H...how is the 2300 an upgrade. I see it's much more expensive, but I never read anything about much improvements over the 2200.

Not really an upgrade but finding a 2200h is getting harder and harder, but would need how to open up TX range before i would buy one

When you say remove do mean break with needle nose pliers?
