remove VR10-AM power control, & replace it with an externally mounted pot, put it on the squelch control, get a dual pot & replace the squelch pot with it-1 for the squelch 1 for the power, remove the brt/dim or hi/lo tone switch & put a pot there, etc etc....quite a few ways to do it! |

I use the swr calibrate pot. Take the two wires not to ground, solder a 4.7k resistor between the two and insulate.
Run wires from where vr10 was removed to the calibrate pot.
You get variable power and the swr calibrate funciton still works for checking your swr.
