Hi Rick:

IF you attempt this (though I suspect you're kidding), be aware that the LED specified for the SPLIT/RIT indicator is a Hi-Eff (e.g. very low current) device. If you (or anyone else) use a regular LED, you will have to add a driver transistor in order to allow the LED to draw more current. The Hi-Eff LED only draws 2 mA of current in the present circuit design.

Have fun, kidding or not.

Maybe I've finally found a use for the round hole with 8 pins located just to the left of the headphone jack. This would be a splendid home for a nice bright red LED split indicator. Maybe I could use 2 of the pins to power the light. This is probably what the designer had in mind. I wonder what the other 6 pins are for? 73 - Rick - K7MW
