[Heathkit] Re: Heathkit HX-10 "Marauder" and matching Receiver "Mohawk"

[Peter Markavage]

In looking at a picture of the Marauder, it has an additional hole
directly below the meter switch for a control called Rel. Power Adj. Both
of my Apache's panels have two extra holes on the right side (to the
right of the VFO knob), behind the darker green panel that has the name
plate mounted on it.
