From: Nick Gibbs. Subject: ATS803A Anti Chuffing Modification. Here's the Anti Chuffing Modification for the ATS-803A and the DX-440. This modification gets rid of the chuffing when tuning the radio that becomes very annoying. This Modification also enables the speaker while you are scanning. You will be surprised on how much you have missed. I have done the mod and it is real easy. If you don't like it change it back. I got the modification from a unknown source, so it has not yet been tested. I have heard of no complaint or problems. The Modification is so easy all you need is a Phillips screwdriver and 5min's. It's that easy. Ok here it is: STEP 01: Remove the batteries from the unit and turn it upside down so the antenna is facing away from you. STEP 02: Remove the six screws and remove the cover be careful that you don't break the antenna wire. STEP 03: Okay so far so good. Now locate the 8-pin cable. STEP 04: Remove it carefully. Bend the second lead from the left to a 90'. STEP 05: Replace the cable and make sure the lead is not touching anything. STEP 06: Walla it's done. Not so bad now huh ? Okay that's it for now. If I find any newer ones I'll make sure to pass it on. A MODIFICATION FROM CHRIS JOHNSON AND NICK GIBBS |
