Modifying an Alinco DR-M06TH 6m transciever for packet usage

Finding an affordable single-band FM radio for 6m is a challenge, occasionally these turn up on eBay so I nabbed one tried my hand at modifying it. As it turns out they're well built, old-skool analogue and a breeze to work on - after tapping the discriminator / modulator the radio was bench tested using an 857D as a reference, and works on 4k8 beautifully.

Proper test data to follow, but using an IC-705 as a reference receiver the wideband PLL phase noise looks to be very low and there are no horrendous key-up transients a-la FTM-1500.
