Modification for SuperStar 2200
To get 10-meter, cut trace from + 5 Volt to Pin 8 and 9. To get 12-meter, cut trace from GND to Pin 7 and connect Pin 7 to + 5 Volt. Make a new VCO Block. Re-tune both Transmitter and Receiver-part.
VCO operates between 17.115MHz (Ch.1 Band A) and 18.445MHz (Ch.40 Band E), output on Pin 6 is 36.780MHz (Ch.1 Band A) to 39.000MHz (Ch.40 Band E), and output on Pin 9 is 2.550MHz to 2.110MHz inn all band. The VCO-voltage (TP1) operates between 4,5 Volt (Ch.1 Band A) and 0,5 Volt (Ch.40 Band E). Frequency List for SuperStar 2200

The VCO-Block is a part of the active oscillator in TA7310P. This will operate between 16MHz and 19MHz.
Output from TA7310P Pin 9 to PLL02A is: Mixer frequency - VCO frequency. Output from TA7310P Pin 6 to Receiver/Transmitter Mixer is: Mixer frequency + VCO frequency.
The new "VCO-BLOCK" will operate between 14MHz and 21MHz, and will then cover 10-meter, 11-meter and 12-meter.
