If I do indeed end up removing D6316, will it open TX as well as RX at those frequencies or am I just looking at RX? (Either way is fine because I am not licensed to TX on a big portion, e.g. I have yet to open the radio and check these out and see how hard they are to remove but I am curious if anyone has attempted a mod involving these diodes before. If removing diode D6316 it lists these as opening the 'desired frequency band':
This is the mod concerning diodes D6315, D6316 and D6310.
I am looking at the document Icom produced for what they call the 'expanded frequency mod'.
