Just recently bought an alan 48 multi excel & was told it could be modified & fully banded. I have looked around the usual haunts & found minimal info. If anyone has any advice it would be most appreciated. Any mods or banding info.

Re: Fully banding a midland alan 48 excel multi
Fully "banding" the unit requires some simple soldering knowledge. You only need to actually install a 4 position DIP switch and solder in a 4 wire ribbon cable to the PLL, the DIP switches have 2 positions which then gives you many channeling options with the PLL, the end result is about 400 channels and I would suggest a frequency counter when using the unit after this modification. I've done this mod a few times back in the day, and it still works fine.

Found this on openchannel.uk
Don't know if it's the same as your radio.
1/ Remove the lid, top and bottom not forgetting the two screws in the back.
2/ Look at the back of the front panel and you will see the processor with various links by it.
3/ Locate the Links S1, S2, S3, S4 and remove any links.
4/ Locate the legend LCR which is just above the S links and remove the two links there.
5/ Locate the legend AM/FM and link these two in the same way that the LCR was linked.
6/ Look at the chart to decide what channels you would like and link the S1/2/3/4 connections as required.
7/ Refit the rig cases and dont forget the back two screws.
8/ Turn the radio on.
