Hi all,

In response to a couple of interested group members, here's the way
how the hack is done. Before I begin, I've to say that I'm indebted
to Degen for the inexpensive worldband radio they'd made for us and
the buggy program that comes with it :) :) :)

- Make sure there is at least one unused memory slot on Page 7.
Pressing the (DEL) button would delete the station present you're
tuning to.

- Go to Page 8 by pressing (P) + (8).

- Hold down (DEL) button for about 1 sec and hit the (hit) once again
to wipe Page 8's present memory completely clean.

- Tune the radio to any mediumwave frequency and store it to any one
number on page 8. I would prefer 522 kHz.

- Store the frequency on any number on Page 8.

- Turn to Page 7 by pressing (P) + (7). Do not miss this step.

- Turn off the radio by pressing the (POWER) button.

- Lock and then unlock the radio by pressing (M/LOCK) twice.

- Turn the radio back on again. The (POWER) button would do that of
course.

- set the radio to MEM memory scan mode by pressing the (SCAN) button,
if your radio is in STEP mode. The word "MEM" should be displayed on
the screen by now.

- Hit the minus button (-). The radio would tune to the mediumwave
frequency you'd stored on Page 8. Notice that you're still at Page 7,
tuning to a frequency stored on Page 8.

- Hit the FM band switch (FM/BASS). The screen would read 05.22 MHz
FM. The radio isn't tuned to 5.22MHz in FM mode of course.

- Switch back to frequency scan mode by pressing the (SCAN) button
once. The word "STEP" should be displayed by now.

- Hold the minus button (-) until it reaches 05.11 or lower. If you'd
like to tune to 198kHz, tune the radio to "01.98MHz" by means of the
(+) and the (-) button.

- Suppose we're at "01.98 MHz FM" right now, press the memory button
which you have made empty on Page 7 at the beginning of this hack.
The radio should be tuned to 198kHz "MW" by now, in normal AM mode.
Voila!

Rather than LW, even 1.800-2.995 MHz shortwave AM mode is possible.
On the hacked FM mode, adjust the radio to 17.00 to 29.95 MHz, and
then call the empty memory number again. However, this part of the
spectrum isn't very usable on this radio since it suffers severe image
rejection problems on this part of the band.

That's about it. Happy listening.

73,

Yogesh
