Hello all de Phil in Weymouth s,w England .
I Have details of HORA C408 and STANDARD C408 modifications
the two radios are the same modification , Before i go on i must
state that the mod is done under your own risk and could effect
any warrantie or garantiee on the radio if puchased new !!

The mod will allow the user to receive from 420MHz to 480MHz
and transmit between 420MHz to 460MHz .
!! PLEASE NOTE PLEASE CHECK LAWS OF YOUR COUNTRY BEFORE TX OUT OF BAND !!

The Modification on Hora & Standard C408 ..

(1) Turn radio off and remove batterys from batt department .
(2) Now take screws out of radio 2 at top and 1 in battery compartment.
(3) Now locate the surface mount diode marked with the letter ( I )
    it is to the bottom right corner of the heat sink .
(4) Now REMOVE the diode marked ( I ) .
!PLEASE NOTE! Take care when removeing the diode !!
(5) Now put all covers back on radio and look for the reset button in
    the battery compartment and press to reset radio ..
(The End)

You may ask "How dous the radio reset its self with no batterys in place ?"
To answer Is that the radio has a memory back power inside ..

If you do this modification on your radio let me know how you get on
and if it is ok , I have done this modification and it took 3 minutes
to do . And it works well and is like a mini scanner with tx as well.

I have also got modifications on the following radios..
