There's definitely a H/W mod option for the VX-8r for MARS type use.

This claims to document a soft mod that's accessible via magic key combinations but I don't know that it necessarily involves memory that's exported in a clone

Also as I noted in my original msg to Dan, the software mod that worked through the backdoor on the VX-8R apparently has been removed from the VX-8DR.
I had one of the original VX-8 radios and it didn't have the magic middle block that the 5,6,7 radios do, just for what it's worth. However, it's entirely possible that the switches are buried elsewhere.
