PRO-2006 Modifications NOTE: The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 makes it unlawful to monitor mobile telephones, including cellular. The following modification is intended only to restore continuous 760-1300 MHz coverage as originally provided by the design of the PRO-2006 microprocessor. BE SURE TO TEST YOUR PRO-2006 FULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS MODIFICATION. ANY MODIFICATION MAY VOID YOUR WARRENTY. 824-851, 869-896 MHz Frequency Restoration Tools Required: small Phillips screwdriver, small wire cutters. Procedure: With the power cord unplugged, remove the two rear cabinet screws holding the upper cover. Lift off the upper cover, being careful not to stretch the speaker leads. Examine the inner, right-hand-corner of the front panel to find two glass diodes, labelled D503 (upper diode) and D502 (lower diode). Using the clippers, very carefully snip the visible lead of the lower diode (D502) at its bend and slightly separate the cut ends. If it is ever necessary to send the radio back for warrenty repair, the diode leads should be carefully resoldered. Reassemble, plug in AC cord, turn on scanner, and press RESET. -------------------------------------------------------------- There are two diodes behind the "3" key on the keypad. Clipping one restores cellular, clipping the other increases scan speed by about 13%. I did this to my Pro-2006 after the warranty expired and did indeed measure a 13% scan and search speed increase. I don't think this has had any adverse effects on the radio although its theoretically possible that the increased scan speed might cause the radio to miss some carriers - but this is purly speculation on my part.
