[Kenwood] re use of 10 meters on TL-922A

[Gary McAdams]

See what I mean?

I just answered a message and now we have this fellow shouting at us...

Fern, you should have known that a request like that, with no call 
attached would have gotten the response that it did...
Especially since you've been licensed so long and all...

Please note that I'm not shouting... Since you have a PC. try mods.dk or 
somis.org

Before you begin however, you should note that the process is not for 
the faint of heart. The ten meter and fifteen meter coils are merged and 
to do this you separate them, add a cap, and re-tune the input networks. 
Kenwood also used to have Field service bulletins on this, but those are 
probably not available. Try the bama ftp site for those.

Please don't shout next time OK? You certainly proved that my lead 
sentence was true did you not?

Joe was just trying, to get a point across, albeit a bit clumsily.
