5) Pull off the face of the radio and find the area that you see above.
6) You have 3 choices here for mods:

Jump pads 3 for the typical export 120 channel operation.
This will provide 40 normal CB channels, plus 40 channels above and 40 channels below the standard channels. Coverage from 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz.
Jumper pad marked "3" and "4" for the new European 80 channel band plan.
Channels 1 -> 3 are FM mode, Channels 4 -> 15 are AM mode, Channels 16 -> 80 are FM mode.
Jumper "B" only gives the UK FM mode band plan. No jumpers applied to any of these pads will allow for the U.S. channel band plan. After changing any of these jumper pads it is necessary to jump the 2 pads marked 'reset' for the microprocessor.
