TNC2.13 (4) Put the 1" long sleeving over each end of the 1 kohm resistor. Make a hook in one end and loop around the lead of the new 1.5 kohm R34 nearest to the battery (the end that goes to the LED). Solder the other end to U14 pin 8. That's it! The way this circuit modification works is as follows: when you are in receive, the LE^@?is being driven by +5V thru R34 and a high output level from the gate at U14 pin 8, resulting in normal brilliance. When you transmit, U14 pin ^@ goes low, resulting in lower current thru the LED. IF you wish to reverse the sense of the LED (dim on receive, bright on xmit), take the U14 end of the 1 kohm resistor to pin 9 instead of to pin 8 improve the heat conduction from the 7805 to the aluminum cabinet: a. Drill a small hole (to clear the 4-40 or 6-32 screw in step b.) in the bottom of the case to line up with the mounting screw for the 7805 regulator. this should be 1.32" from the front lip of the case and 0.55" from the side of the case.
