I think that both W8JI and K9YC have made good points and a discerning ham can
make an intelligent choice.

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.
73,
Bill KU8H
