[Drake] Drake 2B modification question

Mon, 23 Jun 2003 09:20:45 -0400 (EDT)

Les,
If you get time, maybe you could document the mod, with schematic 
changes.  The 2B is a really nice RX, but like a lot of things it is 
interesting to hear about mods that make it better.  I may never do the 
mod, but still interesting to look and learn from.
73,
