KX155

What is the secret on removing a kx155 radio from the tray. I know
that it takes a long small screwdriver... but I can't seem to get it
to work?

I think its a hex wrench, not a screw driver.

HTH.

iirc, there isn't a screw, just some plastic thing that only needs
a 90 degree turn to release the radio.

You need a 3/32 allen wrench.

Sorry that's what I meant not hex wrench. Didn't know it's 3/32
though.

Apologies,

I think that you were right anyway. Allen is to Hex as Clorox is to bleach.
The important thing is not to mangle up the head with a phillips screwdriver
before learning that it is an "internal wrenching hex bolt"!

Exactly. There is a latching mechanism. Don't try to thread the
entire bolt out. All it needs is a 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

This is different than some other radios, which do have the bolt
threading into the rack.
