to do that, and I would be the last to recommend it.

Hi,
Unless I missed something we are talking "tampering" with our own gear -
our own possessions. I would be reluctant to ever so much as touch
somebody else's consumer equipment. However I have bought brand new
radio gear and after running a day or two turned it off, opened it up,
and customized it. None of that stuff failed to run as expected. Other
gear I just opened up, tearing the "Do not open - no user serviceable
parts inside" nonsense tag. I satisfied my questions about how it works
and how it was built. How awful that some of us actually build
electrical equipment from scratch!
YMMV.
