FT-2200 2m mods

I bought my ft-2200 a few months ago and I didn't
have the AM recieve activated. So I complained and got the mod for it:
AM receive:
- Remove top and bottom covers, then remove speaker.
- Lift the faceplate retaining tabs on top and bottom to slide the face off
(pull the knobs off first you knob).
- Remove the retaining nut on the tuning shaft and lift the clear plastic
light guide off.
- The 12 surface-mount sized jumpers are now visible.
- If AM is disabled, there should be a jumper across number 5. Remove this
and reset radio before use. (I think it is number 5, my radio had only one
jumper in place, and it was the one for AM block-out. If you have more than
one in place, contact me and I will give you the double-checked version of
this mod.)
Now, if you enjoy this mod, please send me any more that you have heard of
for this model. I would like a wide open radio to experiment with it's power
output across the spectrum. I need FM Rx and Tx extended.
Is it common for a radio to require a jump *made* instead of just *cut*? This
would have to be the case for this model since it doesn't have any jumpers
soldered into place. (12 pairs of surface-mount sized/spaced pads numbered from
left to right).
thanks in advance!
