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...

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

Thanks mate, really helped me out with that jumper 3 setting + some extra info. (: If this is like watching paint dry, then paint-drying is very educational!
