You can also take a sharpie marker and write a black dot on the center of the led to kill the hot spot on the meter display.

Thanks Fred I will try it next time i have the radio open. The bright spot appears worse on the video than in real life or I've gotten use to it.

Do you know of some place that shows you how to do the MARS expanded rf mod on this radio?

@@petermiles6557 Peter I'm sorry but I think the end result looks terrible. I'm going with two 16V warm white 3mm incandescent "grain of wheat" bulbs in series available from eBay. $8.89 for ten units. I may have to replace them again someday but I believe the end result will look much better (like the original).

Ha ha I like a man that speaks his mind and I understand what your saying, however apart from the lamp life I like the sharper light from LEDs and it may be just perception, but it seems the metering display is much clearer for me and my aging eyes.
