Back in 1986 I bought a Kenwood R-2000 receiver. Shortly thereafter I
studied the circuit schematics and devised a way to convert the tone control
pot. into a RIT control. I sold the receiver in 1990 and now cannot remember
how I did the mod. and of course have no schematics to look at.

Seems like I cut a diode, disabled the operation of the tone pot. and then
ran a new wire from the tone pot. to somewhere nearby to another component
or TP. This would have been a mod. done underneath and towards the front of
the receiver.

Does anyone remember this mod? I freely circulated it to various SWL's and
clubs like NASWA before the Internet existed and I hoped that I could locate
the mod. on the
Internet but to no avail. I inadvertently mentioned the mod. on the
"Shortwaves"
e-group and of course opened mouth and inserted foot, because many R-2000
receiver owners are now clamoring for the mod.

Any help would be appreciated because the RIT mod. really makes the R-2000 a
better receiver especially on digital modes.
