I've received a number of requests for the QRP mod I mentioned earlier
today, so here it is:
Replace R30 (10k) with 2.2k
Replace D3 (5.7V) with a 3.0V Zener.
The power and ALC will have to be reset, as per the manual:
"Using a wattmeter and dummy load, advance the DRIVE control until 100
watts is indicated on 14.05 MHz. Adjust the front panel ALC control for
full clockwise rotation and then adjust R11 so that the LED is fully
bright with 100 watts output."
On my Corsair, the mod works down to about 1 watt; your mileage may vary.
