Yes beleive it or not I found an UNPUBLISHED mod for the HTX-202 and will be forwarding this to R.S. , etc. I was looking at the Alinco DJ-580, the salesperson pointed out a lock feature on the display/keyboard to illuminate the rig for mobile operation. I wish my rig(202) did that. would be nice in the truck....... So on Feb. 7 / 93 while listening to a local net I was playing around with it. This mod/feature will cause the display to remain ON rather than shutting off after the 5 second light delay. Mine has now been on 2 hr. and the display is only a little warm. Do the following : 1 ) Press the F key ( uper left side above PTT ) 2 ) While holding this key in press the L key ( under PTT ) 3 ) Thats all ! Enjoy your radio in the dark ! Hope this little option/feature helps all of you that wanted an illuminated HTX-202 ! I know I will enjoy mine ALOT more !!! You are all very welcome, 73's de KB9FAI, Randy Mueller Send any replies via packet to WB9ZRE @ RIPON WI. BYE ! --- End of messsage to INFO @ALLUS from KB9FAI ---
