Any Portable on 6 meters FM is not gonna perform as good as if you were on SSB with a Hi-Gain antenna! conditions change every 10 to 40 mins.. If you have 6 meter repeters. Try it out! I haven't had much luck with 6m portables on FM. (either simplex frequencies or repeaters!) But I can work 7-10 states on ssb....it may last for a 10min window, more or less time, conditions depending! Still wreaks the hell out of a TV set down the street!

I posed the same question to a motorola guru. He said it was a real ugly mod and wouldnt do it again. Supposedly, it involves changing alot of components that are hard to get to. rmann
