Had a look at relocating the 33k surface mount resister to open the bands this eve .

Yeah right lol.....

Its like trying to desolder a sesame seed with an elephant foot ..

I think im gonna buy an old school resistor and use that . Lol

I think one of the pictures in the link gives you a clue.

Yes Admiral . I have managed it that way . A trip to maplin and 29pence later lol.
On the pic the short end of that resistor all those contacts are shared so i kinda soldered to all. as i wanted it secure for mobile use also . Didnt want the pcb track lifting with any vibration .
It really looks bigger in the pic but the contact to solder is about a quarter of a pin head in size.

Anyway . Tested and working . Reports are good . If i was fussy i would say the knobs on the magnum 1 are like toothpast tube lids (ribbed) and feel awful but apart from that im very happy with this radio . Its a keeper
