Jim, this sounds like a fantastic solution to one of my problems. I don't need
in-circuit charging (I always have spare NiMH AAs
thanks for that Jim. I checked and I have the "silicon diode + resistor"
version of this mod on my M100 now.
In my M100 (powered off):
Wall wart voltage = 7.5V
Voltage @ 4xAA = 5.5V (while charging)
Voltage across resistor/diode = 2V
I'll monitor this as it charges up. Ideally I think one would w
HI,
I did a similar modification to this when I was much younger.
It worked beautifully. Later I installed a LM317 voltage regulator on a
heatsink inside the uinti so I could power it with 12V, like the rest of my
Amateur Radio gear. The unit would stay plugged into permanent power for
days. T

Steve,
It might be worth looking at the 8201 charging circuit since it's a similar
platform. For the battery pack, all that is added is a resistor. I think it's
something weird like 71.5k.

No worries Steve,
I didn't dig too deep into my search results but this email references
an old issue of Portable-100... so it's certainly likely that there is
more recent information out there. I'd say to use whatever solution
you're most comfortable with :-)

thanks Bert,
I found another document (M100SIG) that suggested the components to add
were a 10 ohm resistor and a silicon diode.
Interesting.
All hacks place a circuit between the orange and red leads.

Hi Steve,
Email from 2010... :-)
Hope this helps.

Wondering if anyone recalls or can point to the small modification needed
to be able to use NiMH or NiCd batts in the M100, and enable charging?
Seems to me there was a nice little change you could make.
thx

even more whacky,
* the bug seems to exist only in M100, not T102. (different roms)
* VirtualT did not show the bug occurring unless you are in M100 mode, with
stock ROM, and you are running at 2.5 MHz.
As soon as you can make virtualT show the error, then you are golden...
