Default bandspread tuning tutorial?

I do not know how to solder, and my hands do not sit still well enough to
perform such exacting work; I wind up burning a circular sport 3 inches wide
around the target! I would really like to have a digital freq. display on
this unit too, but AADE does not do the actual modifications. Oh well, back
to my original idea: anyone interested in a DX-160?



From your RR IP address it looks like you're in Ohio, so I'm no help
in Florida, but its a simple job. I would add a buffer amplifier to
keep the modification from affecting the dial calibration and alignment
of the radio, but that is simple, too.

BTW I lived in Ohio for 35 years, just below Dayton.
