Yes, that is what I was referring to as to a backdoor that
was available for the -8R, but stopped working for the -8DR
even after using AH29D instead of AH029 as the identifier for the VX-8DR.

Some people reported that it also didn't work after
removing the resistor, but I never understood why you would
try it or need it after doing the h/w mod....

Yes, the before and after from an original -8R not an -8DR would
certainly be helpful.
