I got a few radios in trade, including a Kenwood TK-880-2 -- meaning the 485-512 MHz model. I have an 880-1 (which covers the GMRS frequencies) and I love it.
Forgive what I'm sure is a whole lot of misunderstanding in the request that follows, I'm still relatively new to amateur radio:
Is there an easy way to modify the 880-2 to cover a lower frequency range -- swap crystals/semiconductors?
I'm likely going to sell the 880-2, but if there's an easy (I'm handy with a soldering iron) way to get it working on a frequency range I'm licensed for, that would be fun too.
