Oh, and be *careful* on the KX-170B. The allen screw only needs to turn about
1/4 turn on that thing. If you turn it more, you'll hear a "crunch" sound, which is
the wafer switch (and your wallet) getting smushed. Bottom line is don't force it
farther.

It really sucks, since some radioes need about 5-10 turns of the allen screw
to come out, and some (like the 170b) only 1/4 turn. I think that Bendix/King screwed
the pooch on that afterthought design. Most other things just come out without
problems.
