Looks like photos are not allowed in messages so I uploaded it to the
group website. I don't see it though. Maybe the moderator has to approve
first.
A terrific BC780xlt day in Nebraska!

<p>Hi All,<br>
<br>
Thanks for Ubbe's help.<br>
<br>
I got the 780 out in the garage and removed the top case
cover. The PCB <br>
is upside down in the 780.<br>
<br>
I found a 2N2222 transistor (flat side up) and a 4148
diode (band is <br>
on the transistor side) soldered in near the VFO/Select
knob. The <br>
attached photo I just snapped should be clear enough to
guide you to do <br>
this kool mod. Hopefully this group accepts photos.<br>
<br>
Obviously you will need some fine soldering skills, fine
solder and a <br>
low wattage iron. A stand alone magnifying glass and
strong light will <br>
help. Be sure to check that there are no shorts to the
adjacent ground <br>
plane. The top end of the diode is unsoldered as I had to
lift it to see <br>
the number but it is supposed to be soldered to that
isolated pad it is <br>
touching.<br>
<br>
A terrific BC780xlt day in Nebraska!<br>
