Hi Kent,
Hope you are enjoying the radio. I did forget to mention the raised
dots for the RCA jacks, but I had noticed them earlier. I don't
recall if I ever knew about the bumps for the antennas, but maybe 2
months ago John WA2U from NY who sometimes checks into the 40 meter
roundtable had mentioned it to me and I found the dots for the RCA jacks
when I started feeling around the rear panel to see what else might be
there.
Hope to catch you on the air sometime.
73, Steve KW3A
