Getting an IC-R75 with free, uninstalled UT-106 DSP

Has anyone installed the DSP module themselves?

Skimming the Yahoo R75 group I only see a few posts
about it, people had trouble with screws. I can overcome
that, but are there any tips on what to be careful of...
which end of the ribbon cable is which, etc?

The downloadable manual shows instructions, but the
accompanying pictures leave a bit to be desired. To me
they don't illustrate clearly what is said in the written
instructions.

I don't want to screw this radio before I even use it. But
it seems like it should be fairly easy to get this install right.


Did it on mine last October. The pictures are pretty good, but
*don't* specify that part of the time you're working on the "up" side of
the circuit board, and part of the time you're working UNDERNEATH the
circuit board. Once you grasp that (you just did), it's pretty simple.
When you next turn on the receiver, if you see "DSP" on the dispaly, you
did it right.

Thanks Tony. After studying the drawings it did look like
the board was turned over for separate procedures.
And I was hoping that DSP would only show if it was done
correctly. I'm anxious to get the radio... maybe tomorrow.
The guy said he would ship it last Wednesday UPS.
