"NOVICE NOTES" FOR PRO-34 MODIFICATIONS
1. Remove the 4 small phillips scres on the back of the unit
2. Remove the batter cover and battery holder from the case.
3. Remove the two knobs on the top of the case (Volume & Squelch)
4. The Case has some pressure fit points, These are at the bottom of the case
and you need to be a bit careful in forcing the two halves of the case
shell appart. Once you have the pressure fit points at the bottom
released, angle up the bottom of the case until the battery sepperation
wall is clear of the internal metal frame, and slide towards the top of
the unit, place the back half of the shell aside.
5. Now you will see the RF boad mounted to the metal support frame, The BNC
(antenna) conector leads and the volume control power switch leads are
soldered directly to the board. Carefully desolder these 4 connections.
6. At the bottom of the RF board there is a IF Can transformer that has a
small wire as a groundign strap soldered directly to it. Desolder this as
well.
7. There will be some wires from the volume controle knob to the PC board
that are socketed. Remove the plug from the ]F board (needle nose pliers
work)
8. There will also be a similar wire (small sheilded ) from the squelch
control to the RF board wich is also Socketed. Remove the plug from the RF
board. (Again Needle Nose Pliers work good here)
9. Remove the 4 thredded stand-offs from the RF Board (these Hold the RF
board to the internal mettal frame and are where the screws that hold the
back of the case on go.) Use a nut driver or Needle Nose Pliers.
