: Look for a row of surface-mount or small glass switching diodes labeled D1 through D20 (or similar configuration depending on your specific board revision layout).
. For optimal performance, especially on low frequencies, it is recommended to use a wire antenna between 12 and 23 meters long. Microphone Pinouts: kenwood tkm707 mods

: Some operators replace the stock microphone with a higher-fidelity Kenwood desk mic (like the MC-60), though this may require a simple pinout adapter. especially on low frequencies
(including Ham and MARS/CAP bands), hardware modification is required. The Component Mod: Community discussions often point to the D111–D114 diodes on the control board.
