Or you could get your ticket and use it where it was intended

Good response, BUT it is what it is.

If I remember this mod correctly...the display will never be correct...it will still read 28.xxx...and it is not accurate on the last couple digits...when used on 11m...
That radio is a poor choice to mod for 11m...
Also when retuning the final section for 10/11m do not expect to get a 100 watts of output...more like 70 watts keydown with normal voice peaks on SSB around 30-40 watts...set it any higher and you be looking for new finals and drivers...real soon.
Also they have a very sensitive SWR protection circuit...operation above 1.5:1 (unless it has been changed) the transmitter will shut off, then the radio must be turned off and back on to restore operation...
Best Choice.... "get your ticket and use it where it was intended"
All the Best
