Thanks for that report John.
Since the heatsink is now inside the radio, the back panel is a pretty simple
piece of steel (?).
How about making a replacement back panel that would accommodate a "proper"
jack for
the 9Mhz signal and maybe a couple spares. I think you guys at TT could do
that for a
reasonable price and for most folks that could be a field replacement could it
not?
Whatcha' think?
