alinco dx-10

[357]

Anyone familiar with this radio?
I found one pretty much NIB but I see a "mod" on it.
Maybe a factory fix?
Looks like it goes from R229 to capacitor E6 via a diode and a rf bypass cap.

I got all excited and bought one, thinking the CW latency issue would have been addressed since Alinco was hawking it.

It turned out to be a TURD.

The mod is on tip of my tongue. Can't recall ATM.
