Hey Drake thanks for the suggestion - and I found out that I suck at soldering today. I tried to desolder an old circuit board I had lying around and it was an ugly sight! Now give me a person and I'd be able to sew an artery together, but engineering is completely new to me.

I'll probably stick with the FT-60R though, b/c I like the functionality of the radio and I've read many great reviews for it. Hopefully I won't have to modify it myself!
