[ICOM] PW1 and 10 meters

[Bruce W1CSM]

Hi,

I was going to modify my PW-1 for 10 meter operation until I got the cover 
off and discovered that I am an official OF.

I can barely see the diode that needs to come out let alone unsolder one or 
both ends. What's the best way to make this modification? Do I dare get 
gutsy and just crunch it out with wire cutters?

I'm sure this issue has been addressed, but I couldn't find anything in the 
archives.

Thanks, & 73
