Ted, The "discussed" WC3K mods do NOT require ANY holes, AND all are readily reversible.
The over-modulation modification was "cleverly" performed by removing ONE screw on the front panel, and placing the LED there! I haven't put a single hole in the DX-60 that I have. Even the PTT mod requires NO holes in the Old Gal! Bob - N0DGN On 7/2/2010 4:19 PM, Ted Gustafson wrote: > I for one like to just leave things alone.
