[Elecraft] MD2 resistor mod - a different approach?

[Jean-François Ménard]

Hi Don,

What are you suggest if I must switch often between an MD2 and a 
Kenwood hand mic.... It is a little bit hard to remove and add the 
jumper each time... Maybe if we can have those jumpers more 
accessible.... from dip switches somewhere...
