Ed, No external fixing, all internal just like the original. The 'Parts Lists Amendment' states the alternative IC700 frequency reference is used in -16, -26, -36 for FCC I think it differs from the standard by having 4 pins, one of which is the FM pin with the voltage setting arrangement. Other IC700's didn't have that. Let me check again at work today, it 6AM and I am on my way to the salt mine.
