Hi I was just trying to make the mod to the Icom IC-765 so the auto tuner=
 will work on the MARS frequencies - I understand that I am supposed to l=
ocate the Tuner PCB and remove the grey wire going to pin 8 on J103 named=
 TUN M - =20

Well, I removed the top cover and (think that I) found the tuner pcb whic=
h is vertically mounted in the rear of the radio on the left side (facing=
 the radio) - I could not get in to where the pcb was mounted - I may not=
 have removed all of the screws or maybe I just got scared, but it did no=
t come out easily and I didn't want to break anything - =20

Is there a way to identify the wire or make this mod without removing the=
 pcb or is there an easier way to get to the tuner pcb? Any help would be=
 appreciated.

Also is there anything welse I need to do while I have the radio opened u=
p?

Thanks
George
