i just removed the next mode memory from mine, by soldering a 470k ohm resistor parallel to the capacitor. something like this: A60
after 3 seconds it starts in high mode.
also discovered that when removing the pill and then screwing it back again, if you tighten it too hard, the focus might shift and make the hotspot bigger and less intense. my testing on an inside wall 4m away gave me best results when tightening the pill very lightly. but then it was a bit loose and the hotspot became decentered. so i tightened it a bit more.
