Problems with AE 540 -

  

Factory preset USA frequency range

  

Problem:

  

In transmit mode the frequency limits are only between 

 

144 and 148 MHz, while reception is still tunable between 136 and 174 MHz

  

Solution:

  

   

On the inner side of the front PCB (opening of speaker-side cabinet necessary) 
is a  zero-Ohms SMD resistor as jumper, which is nowhere mentioned in the documentation. The jumper is between
CPU and channel switch, situated between R 206 and R 203/207. Please see photo and markings.

After deleting this jumper (unsolder carefully!) the radio operates in the whole frequency range TX and RX
126 - 174MHz.

  

Note:   European regulations about radio amateur service do not allow use of extended frequency range transceivers n restriktiver als 
in all countries! Please read national instructions before using extended transceiver equipments !
