This is like watching paint dry

[joecolfs]

@100msw Then why did you watch it fool?! if you didn't want to see a tutorial on how to do the mod, WHY WATCH IT? Not the most uesful tool in the set obiously...

[sraza74]

so where to get the software from?

[yellowjacketf4i]

so... does selecting 3 on the jumper settings allow freeband and the marscap mod at the same time?

The way the program looks, I noticed it deselected the other mod when you enabled the freeband mod.

is there any benfit to using the marscap over the freeband mod?

[joecolfs]

@yellowjacketf4i short answer is no, you can't have it operate in two modes at once. The difference between Free band and Marscap is what frequencie ranges you can TX on.

@joecolfs Thanks for the reply. For some reason I was under the impression that the free band opened up more TX frequency's than the mcarscap mod . I am not very knowledgeable yet, i'm just now studying to get my license.

So by selecting number 3 in the commander software, which mod exactly does that do? Freeband or the marscap? I noticed you said the program was wrong for the VX-7R.

Thanks for you reply!

[joecolfs]

@yellowjacketf4i Selecting the 3rd jumper will give you the freeband mod. Yes the free band opens up the widest range of TX and RX freqs.

Cheers
