Hi I have some low band maxtracs here in the UK and want to use them on 6mtrs, the rx side is fine but the firmware won't allow you to set the tx pwr above 50Mhz, so I intend to do the pwr mod, just one track cut and a pot between the 9.6v, and one side of the cut. I have found that my gm300,s can be set to lower power by just using the rss. I turned one down to 3w no problem
