Today I modified my HAM radio to receivce and transmit on MURS frequencies. Even though the components on the circuit board were tiny, it was definitly the easiest modification of this kind that I've ever done. No need for a soldering iron, I just used these.
Remove radio's plastic cover
Unplug the external Speaker jack cover and remove the rubber gasket
Remove the 8 screws that secure the metal cover, then pull it off
A view of the circuit board and the location of resister R119
Here's a close up of the resistor. I just grabbed that bad boy with my surgical pliers and it snapped off.
A blurry shot, but you can see that the Resistor is removed
Reassembled and tested
