=== Disable amplification ===
When testing, it's important not to transmit on unlicensed frequencies. Emissions can be eliminated by removing the RF amplifier from the chain and terminating the load at the antenna connection. The amplifier is an SOT-89 device just above the "-" terminal of B3. To access this RF chain, the shield housing may need to be temporarily removed. Also remove the bias feed resistor just below the "L104" marking. Then, remove the transmitter antenna from the "ANT1" connections. Use a 50 ohm resistor across the two terminals to provide a terminating load and eliminate any further transmission. Near-field reception is still possible after making these changes.
