Kevin, When you are using separate radios for TX and RX, it is a good idea to perform all modifications to both radios, so that they are identical. When one radio fails, you can simply switch them and be back on the air in minutes.

Hi All, Just a quick question to confirm before proceeding to finish. I have a low band Mitrek on 10mtrs. I am using 2 radios, one for RX and one for TX. The TX is working fine, and now I am just fixing a couple of issues on the RX. I note in the manual and Mike's information the wiring for the power (voltage), noticing the 3 main wires for it, the large wire for the PA, pin 12 for TX and pin 4 for RX. Now because the radio is only going to be used in RX mode, I am wondering if I can leave the large wire (which goes to oin 17 I think) and pin 12 off and only run power to pin 4 for the RX side??? Thanks and look forward to your reply. Kevin, ZL1KFM
