Hi Esko,

I use the electric hob in the kitchen (while the XYL is out) to warm the pallet to 180-200C and then carefully heat the part to be removed until the solder melts with a gentle heat gun as it is easy to loosen and move nearby components. The pallets can absorb a lot of heat so I don't think a heatgun on its own would be enough. An infra red thermometer is a definite help.

Mike,

Yes, they added the components that do the x 10 and switched in or out.

Interesting. I will have a look out for one. They are a bit pricey new.

Mike,

Mine must be 20yrs plus old now, was purchased when first started with fm tv, when GB3PV went on air (late 90's) its only a mile or so from my location.

Or use the iron from the missis and clean it before using it on clothes again...

Hi Brian (hsf)
Any chance of some pictures of both sides of the circuit board in the CN-801 s meter Id like to look at adding a x 10 to mine.

Hi Terry,

Will need to have a look inside again to do that, from what I remember where the extra black pot is (50k) and open one end, it looks like the mod was taking that part on the pcb out (link or fixed resistor) and install the pot in its place, with the switch just shorting out the pot, and having an rf source to set the x 10.
