400 CHANNEL and SPEED MODIFICATION

On the top of the sub-circuit board, locate the slot for D-513. Count backwards from there until you get to the space for D-510. Install a diode at D-510 in the same polarity as the rest of the diodes. There, you now have 400 channels instead of 300 ! Now install a diode at D-514 and you have increased the scan speed to 20 channels/sec from 16 ch/sec. Carefully re-assemble the metal box. Make sure everything else is as it should be. RE-invert the radio so it is right side up.

beware the 400 channel mod - not all CPU boards last more than a year afterwards

Good luck filling 400 analogue channels in 2016.

zero problem doing that here - my bct-15x has 2048 out of 9000 memories loaded across 8 systems
in fact thats one of the reasons I upgraded my 15 to a 15x and dedicated my 15 to digital - was running out of channels
