Tom, Putting the emotions aside, I anxiously await a plug & play mod. Some of us just don't have the facilities to dig in to the radio and make mods. Inrads mods are great that way. Designed for the lowest common denominator HI> I have however installed all my filters and the inrad mod on my own that is the hiss mod. Ok, take care and I look forward to your new device. 73, bob K3UL
