If so looking for someone to retune the frequency. Or add a board with dip switches?

Saw that on eBay a couple of months ago. I have never used those boards but there is probably some up and down button pins to connect on the board which makes it tune up or down.
Not 100% sure to be honest as never used one and the photo isn't clear enough to see it properly.

You will need someone to reprogramme the 8 pin PIC chip on the top left.
Might be less hassle to just replace the whole board.

I just spoke to someone who has used the slightly different 300w and 180w versions of the 'Pirate Master' and he said that the frequency is programmed using the 8 pin PIC chips (which are larger type on those boards) but I think this might be the PIC chip on your board.

I agree with teckniqs. you should have a look at this on ebay as teckniqs mentioned. It's alor easier to use. Tuning is easy just press the buttons job done.

This version needs retune by the maker(me) of the board because lots of rigs will be stolen so it can't be retuned same for the 300mW green driver.
