Q: I can't upload new memory channels back to my radio after modification?
A: Your hardware configuration has been changed, so you must re-read the radios memory and edit the memory channels and upload this back to the radio.

Q: What is the difference between MARS/CAP and FREEBAND modifications?
A: MARS/CAP modification opens transmit range on most dual band transceivers from 140 to 174 & 420 to 470Mhz.  FREEBAND opens the transmit on the same radio approx 100Mhz - 200Mhz & 400Mhz - 500Mhz.  The problem with FREEBAND is that most, if not all radios, will NOT transmit properly past the MARS/CAP ranges.  Some radios once FREEBANDED will not have proper 2M/70cm repeater offsets anymore. Freeband does not open any receive frequencies the radio doesn't already have.   I recommend MARS/CAP modification for the majority of radios listed.
