Hola!
Yo tengo uno y le hice la cirugia para usar transverter. La info está en las webs populares de internet..
Te aconsejo uses soldador JBC de 15W y punta muy fina y unas pinzas para SMD. Te lo tienes que tomar con calma, los diodos que tienes que quitar son muy, pero que muy pequeños. Mejor que te lo haga alguien que tenga equipo para SMD.
Para la version europea solo tienes que quitar un diodo:
Remove the twelve screws from the sides and bottom securing the bottom cover.
Locate the Circuit board with the Optional IF filters. The filters will be in the upper left hand corner of the circuit board. Look to the lower middle of the circuit board for silk screening that reads “Option UT-102”. (almost the center of the radio) Immediately to the right of the “Option UT-102” silk screening you will see two columns (14 positions in each column) of VERY small surface mount diodes in a tight configuration. I’ll call them diode positions 1-14. This column should have diodes in EVERY position 1-14. The next column to the right is diode positions 15-28. This column should have diodes in positions 15, 18, 20, 22, 23, 27 and 28 as shown below.
[01] [15]
[02] [ ]
[03] [ ]
[04] [18]
[05] [ ]
[06] [20]
[07] [ ]
[08] [22]
[09] [23]<-- Remove this diode only!!!
[10] [ ]
[11] [ ]
[12] [ ]
[13] [27]
[14] [28]
Diode 23 is VERY small and has a small “Y” on top of it. Use the finest pair of tweezers you have to remove diode 23 ONLY! Make sure you remove diode 23 only and NO other diodes! Make sure you have NO solder bridges as the diode pads are VERY small!
Use a clear piece of tape and tape the diode to one of the metal covered cans near the columns in the same orientation you removed it. This way you’ll have your diode to reinstall if you ever feel you need to and you’ll know the orientation of the diode.
This completes the TX modification. Replace the cover and screws.
TX should be from about 100KHZ to 60MHZ and 118MHZ to 176MMZ.
Do this totally at your own risk. Never, transmit out of the ham bands or your privileges.

Antes de hacer nada asegurate que la disposición de diodos es la misma que en el diagrama que te dice el colega. Miratelo bien aqui:
