Unplug connector to the internal speaker. 4. Locate diode D201 and 4 jumpers near edge of circuit board. 5. Cut the 3rd and 4th jumpers near the middle and fold downwards, insulate leads, if necessary. 6. Connect the lower part of jumper 3 & 4 to one end of a 10K Ohm 1/4 watt carbon resistor, insulate all exposed leads. 7. Connect the other resistor lead to the lower connection of diode D201, DO NOT cut any leads on D201. 8. Make sure all exposed leads aren't touching any other connections, insulate as required, tack in place with a dab of RTV silicone, or low temp hot glue. 9. Reassemble scanner, make sure to plug the speaker back in. You should now have a scanner with 100 chs. numbered 01-00, in 5 banks of 20 ch. and continuous 800 MHz coverage.
