Yes, but using your modified ham HT on marine frequencies is illegal and you could easily lose your amateur license as well as be fined about 50 times what a marine HT costs
Get a proper marine radio and save yourself some grief. They are not that expensive.

What, specifically, are you trying to do?
The 920 is a fine rig as is and doesn't need any mods. What makes you think it does?

<< any suggestions? >>
Yea ...
READ THE RULES for the service you are licensed for!!!!
What you are suggesting is illegal and at the very least will get your commercial AND ham license cancelled and at the worst a VERY BIG DAILY fine from the FCC.
Geez, what makes you people think you can use modified ham gear anywhere and everywhere you want?

Correction:
There is no OTHER legal use for a modified Amateur HT. Modified rigs are legal on the amateur bands and MARS, nowhere else. They are no longer legal for CAP VHF use.

Sounds like someone screwed up your radio.
FWIW, with the exception of MARS VHF frequencies (and a MARS license is required to use them) there is no legal use for a modified amateur HT. There is no service, VHF or UHF, where it is legal to use a modified amateur radio.

<< set the first setion while the concrete still wet. that what i did with mine atfer you level it and everything else if it look good then leave the first setion alone 2 or 3 days than put the rest up, make sure you wear your safty belt or have someone with bucket truck. do it for you and also watch for power line ! i do what the rest said. you sould be fine. >>
That's really bad advice.
Concrete take more than a couple of days to cure.
If the base doesn't conform to the manufacturer's specifications, no building inspector will approve it and if it comes down due to a faulty installation, you better have GOOD insurance and a GOOD lawyer, because you will get sued and you'll never find another risk carrier again.

Try posting in the Classified section. You'll probably get a better response.

And this mod is needed why?
With the exception of MARS, and a DoD-issued MARS license is required for MARS frequencies, there is no service you can legally use a modified amateur VHF rig on.
Modified VHF ham rigs are no longer allowed in the CAP, either.

You don't say how the antenna is mounted - where the base (feed point)of the antenna actually is in relation to the ground - and where your radials are connected.
For ground-mounted radials, the feed point needs to be very close to the radial attachment point, no more than a couple of feet, and even less is better.

I doubt you would ever get a building inspector to sign off on an installation like that, not to mention what your insurance carrier would say if the tower came down in a storm or other incident.
There is only one way to install a tower - the correct way following the manufacturer's instructions.

I think you may be worrying for nothing.
The shunt coil on my HF6V is spread about 10 percent and I have 1.2:1 at 3.920 and less than 2.0:1 about 40kHz on either side. My internal tuner on my TS-570 handles any mismatch from 3.700 to 4.100 with no problem. Since I don't do 80m CW, I don't care what happens below 3.700. I have no idea what the actual impedence is, and as long as everything works, what difference does it make?
FWIW, my radial system is a 23,000 sq ft corrugated steel roof, two stories in the air in downtown Baltimore.
