I made a cardboard template that just fit the socket. I moved it around until I found a good location surrounding the power outlet and marked it off with Magic Marker. I then used a nibbler to cut the bulk of the metal away followed by some clean up with a file.

If you have any interest in the radio as a collector's item I recommend mounting an EMI filter under the power transformer. I was going to do that and had even mounted the filter, but then I realized I could find the IEC socket. Finding a cable clamp to fit would be a long exercise in "hunt the wumpus". And I like IEC sockets whereas I despise permanent cords.

The nibblers are shown on top. I actually used one of the yellow handle ones with the spring and clamp removed for some of the detail work because I didn't have the other at the time.

I've been prepping my FRG-7 to lend to a gentleman who lives in a 12 x 13 ft room in a nursing facility..

I'm looking for suggestions of what sort of antenna to set up for him.? Do I need to connect to all 3 ports or just one?

I modified the? radio today and installed an IEC socket with integral EMI filter mostly to improve the ground situation and simplify cord handling.

Thanks,
