Remove top screw on each side which holds front panel to chassis. Pivot front panel down slowly. CAUTION : if you let it go, it will flop down rapidly and probably tear somethins loose. Behind the meter will be the CNTL unit. It has a metal cover about 4 * 8 inches. Snap the cover off. Look to the top of the unit. You will see JP-3. Remove the solder connection on JP-3. Best 73 and good traffic on HF bands . Bert fF6HKA ========================================================================= Note: I haven't tried or verified this, proceed at your own risk. And do not transmit outside of legal bands! WA2ISE
