Mike - Feb. 1983 QST featured an extensive mod for putting the 820 on the
WARC bands. I don't recall any of the details any more, but I did the mod
on my 820 back in 1983 and it worked very well. The mod to the final tank
circuit for the WARC bands was rather difficult to do. There were also a
couple of follow-ups to that article, and they're also listed on the ARRL
website if you do a QST search for "ts-820 warc".

The 820 was built before the WARC bands. To modify
an 820 so it covers the WARC bands would require
loosing one of the preset bands, ie 40, 20, 15 or 10.
What one can do is use the "Fix" position for WARC
which, unfortunately, would not give one the ability
to move around with the VFO.

I have an 820S and from the tech manual this, in my
opinion, is the only way to put an 820 on WARC
without sacrificing a band switch position.

Maybe someone else has an idea on how to do this
but at the moment this is all I can provide.

find it, anyone got any info regarding this mod.
All help greatly appreciated.
