For those that got the 80M TCXO upgrade, was it just a matter of pulling the old clock out and sticking the new clock in? I looked inside mine and it doesn't look like it was socketed in, but I could be wrong.
It requires desoldering the old XO and the some wires connecting to the digital board which prevent you from accessing the bottom of the board, then you solder the new XO and the wires.
The desoldering part is actually harder, you will need a pump action solder "sucker" to remove the hot solder.
