[ICOM] IC-2KL: Adding 10 Meters

[Ron Calhoun]

I purchased and installed the kit from Icom a year ago. The kit I 
received did not include the front panel bezel, bandswitch, or LED. 
(different kit?)

It was a bit involved, but not difficult. Be sure to read both the 
included directions and the ones on the link that Adam posted. 
Between the two, I was able to do the installation, and my background 
was aircraft sheet metal repair, not trons.

IIRC the kit was around $60.

Limit your coffee intake before you begin, take your time, and you 
should be fine.
