[Elecraft] KPA100

[Tom Hammond NØSS]

THIS IS MOD THAT EVERYONE(!) SHOULD PERFORM. Even if you don't have the 
internal battery, you still may someday.

Even if you've never swapped the cables, there's always that chance you 
will... I'm managed to do it TWICE now!!! And unless you have a really good 
vacuum-type desoldering gun/station you have a really good chance of 
boogering up (a mid-west US technical term, meaning... well, to booger up) 
your PC board.

The mod is simple to do and makes it fail-safe to accidently swap the cables.
