Enzo,
I'm fairly certain (but not 100% sure) the transmit modification you made works for ANY band selected at the MAIN (transmit) band :) Just put 1.2GHz in the MAIN band, and 70 cm in the SUB band, and you should be ready to go (I think).
The transmitter modification is at or near the varactor, so it should provide transmit audio to any selected band. So, I think your radio is ready to go with AO-51!
Be sure to try to optimize the uplink frequency. Many of us find that 1268.703 works well. At these frequencies, you might find that something higher or lower works best.
When I modified my TS-790A for 9600 baud packet I tapped the both the MAIN and SUB band receiver ICs and put a small switch on the back of the radio. That allows me to work simplex or duplex, regardless of band.

Hit o the list, I own an Kenwood TS-790E that I used since there was KO-23 KO-25 UO-22 and others 9600bd Satellites. Ho you know with these birds with had to work as Uplink 2m and as downlink On 70 cm so I have made modifies to these two bands using the ACC4 socket on The back of the radio.. Now there is AO-51 that has the possibility to go at 9600bd, but sometimes it has the uplink on 1.2GHZ. Is there anybody that can tell me if I can add the 9600bd on the 1.2Ghz module? I need that it has to work in full duplex as the other one. Thanks in advance for any help
