I was looking at the HAGC mod last night again, under an OTT-Lite, it has 2X hands free magnification. I came to the same idea as Sarah, but to remove the package. I'll put a small amount of tape beside the part, lift with two 15 watt irons, and slide it over the tape. There are (from memory) 7 places to visit, and looks pretty easy on a good day.
But two of the 7 are "remove SMT resistor package" and jumper. I'm guessing a little spot of solder on top of the SMT device would achieve the same purpose without needing to disturb the pads. K2 types - I am getting that old excited feeling about being able to burn some solder and get er done. Who would have thought? !!! [Elecraft] SMD video?
