At the time I thought my explanations were enough. Although I was able to personally comment with Chris M0NKA on the modification I had to make as I did not have a replacement for the PIN diode quickly, I had no response from any other radio amateurs who would have carried out the modification. Until Wolfram Perrey, PY2BND,  contacted me from Brazil asking for details of the implementation. In his case he wanted to carry it out to improve the transmission signal.  Before continuing, I must add that Wolfram is a very qualified engineer who would not have needed my additional explanations to carry out the modification, but Wolfram had the idea of doing what
