The HTX-10 is in a class by itself. Not even close to the HTX-100. 
Mods are scarce or not possible. The  rig was designed so as it 
"could not be modified"!  One may be clever enough to redesign the 
HTX-10 to be used as a viable piece of gear other than a 10 meter 
mobile rig but it will take considerable "finesse" from what I read 
on this rig. I have one that is essentially brand new that my dad 
gave me. I wish I could do something with it... It just sits in the 
box it came in on a shelf. It is essentially "brand new"!  One draw 
back even if it could be modified. It tunes in 100 KHz steps! Nothing 
in between!
