The radio can be reprogrammed for different frequency ranges using a key combination.

Attention: With newer devices (from the end of 2017?), Reprogramming using a key combination no longer works! There is software from Alinco (the so-called O-Setup software) that is not freely available. It is best to ask your dealer about this.

1. switch off the device
2. Press and hold the PF1 and ‚D‘ keys
3. Switch on the device and wait until the „Mode“ setting appears on the display, then release the buttons
4. Set the desired mode with the main tuning button
5. Press the ‚D‘ key to exit the setting mode
6. Switch off the device
7. Switch on the device again

With newer devices (from the end of 2017?), Reprogramming using a key combination no longer works! There is software from Alinco (the so-called O-Setup software) available to switch bewteen radio types (frequency ranges).

In the software you can only select the DJ-500(TB), DJ-500 T and DJ-500E types. The Open Mode type DJ-500EX can’t be selected.

Now comes the trick: Set the „Freq.Set“ checkbox and „Write“ to the radio. Afterwards the key combination works again and you can select also Mode4 ( DJ-500EX )
