Remove the speaker side cover to expose the circuit board components. With the knobs to you in the front center of the board is a jumper array of 6 pins, (2 rows of 3 pins). Move the jumper to the back 2 pins, center and right leaving a pin exposed to its left. Take should do it.

thanks for the help 1st of all, it was a beast but I got it, for some reason the 4 times I tried it the radio would not take, it would receive on 11 but would not tx, so I cycled the power several times and said I will give it one more try, so I took the pin plug out and reset it into the specs you sent and whooola it works and works well, I am not sure why it didn't work the 1st 3 times, maybe I may have reversed the pin plug or needed to cycle the power fully disconnecting it from the power source.

Glad you got it working, I hear it is a nice radio with excellent receive. A word to the wise, you should always remove any radio from a power source before touching any inside components unless you are using non metallic tools.
