I understand that there is a "viagra Board modification that would give a DX959 a nice, neat 40 above and 40 below the regular 40 channels with a simple flick of the switch. I hate the way the regular mod gives channels it a very disorganized manner and this sounds much better. What do you techs say to this? Do-able? costly? Thanks in advance....

The board is about $30 and they do work fine.

Well you can put channels in with out the viagra board...

Or put channels in with the viargra board...

If the radio can take channels without the viagra board, i won't buy one to put in it...

Thanks for the response tech671. As you can tell I've been doing a lot or research on this and that. The day to buy is drawing near and your attention will certainly be rewarded :)

(same board) and i could NOT get the frequency
back to center slot.i tried the cans on the main
board and also the adjustment on the frequency board w/no avail :( unfortunately,i went back w/a
slide switch configuration mounted underside of
the radio.BUT,i'm like you,i don't like the hit&
miss channels w/this mod! if i ever get the time,
i'm gonna try the viagra board again,and maybe i

Thanks Slim, the more I read about all the nonsense it takes to make an 11 meter into a 10, the more I think I should go from a 10 and make it cover 11. No worrying about 10khz mods, and slider mods and soldering, jumping from pin to pin.. Geez, what was I thinking
