Get a buddy to transmit from the 7R from at least 100M away.
FYI - To remove the diode on the 60R, you just heat up the iron and touch it for about 2 seconds on the diode, it will melt enough to stick to the iron and pull right off.

Thanks Blackthorne, I did notice that the reception was clearer when transmitting at 0.5 Watts... and now I have a good explanation as to why.
And yes, I thought as much with the diode, although I don't want to permanently alter my friend's radio. The 7R is pretty sweet, but the 60R is quite excellent for the price.
