Smile ADI mobile radios

Does anyone own any radios labeled"ADI?" I have a few of them, one for each ham band, 2M, 220mHZ, AND 70 cm. Just a few questions concerning mods and repairs.

In the past I've had the ADI 440mhz. mobile and the ADI 600 ht. Does that count?

Yes, that will do fine. Just looking for mods for any of the three mono band radios. (ar-147, -247, -447)

If I remember right for the 147+ you just had to take of the cover, clip a red wire and then reset the radio.

I have a 147. Its a piece of junk. Total, absolute crap. I've owned a good dozen radios over the years since I've been licensed and the ADI AR-147 is the biggest POS of them all. If you want to modify it for out-of-band transmit, you pop the top cover, clip the red wire (its the only one there, you can't miss it), and reset the radio.
