Lighten-up, Lee!

It's JUST a radio, and NOT the Mona Lisa! Any modification --- in my humble
opinion --- is a GOOD one, IF it might mean that the radio will be regularly
USED, vs. waiting around on a dusty basement shelf for a deserving recipient
in a museum somewhere, long after its owner has joined the ranks of the
Silent Keys...

I made the change, I made note of the change in the T-4X manual, and it
never cost me a farthing...isn't that in keeping with a noble Amateur
tradition...?!
