It's in the MVA article on the Genesis page. There's even a photo that points out which resistor it is. Just align the photo to your board using the mic jack (which is in the lower left corner of the photo) and it's obvious. Note that the mod is only needed if you are running NiMH batteries. Most vendors are still shipping NiCD batteries for the HT600/MT1000 radios. And some are even putting the proper value of thermistor in them. Mike WA6ILQ
