ACKNOWLEGEMENTS
I wish to thank my son Quintin ZS6IY for his help with the soldering of these minute
components using his hot air soldering station (surface device soldering station).
OM Eddie Leu ZL3TEL for his assistance and photos of the New Zealand expanded frequency
range.
OM Paul Hayden VK4ZBV for information on the Australian and South African audio
frequencies.
Finally OM Ken G3SDW who initially discussed changing the sound filters with me. His email
inspired me to get cracking.
In Conclusion
For those South African Hams who have purchased the American model. I am working on a
modification to change the NTSC system to PAL. It involves changing a number of parts on
the main board. It won't be difficult but procuring the parts may be a challenge.
If I can get hold of the oscillator and coils I will do the modification then update everyone as
to its success.
A PDF file of the modification can also be . (893 Kb)
