Butch there is eight screws to remove the top cover and then as I recall you
have four screws to remove a small cover and then just plug the voice board
in and put back together.  One thing is that I would recommend getting the
500 HZ CW filter which needs soldering on four or five pins, this is very
small and should be done by someone with
sight.   My friend told me it is well worth while buying the filter.   I had
my friend do the soldering  and it only took about 15 minutes for the whole
job. The book shows how to do it very well. Ed K7UC----- Original
