As watching a YouTube video where the presenter noted that here was a small red led inside the transmitter. I did a Google search and note hat no one appears to have used this in a mod.
This got me to thinking! I have some ultra intense blue LEDs lying about, why not unsolder the red led and run a lead up to the specktrum logo and place the blue led there.
After spending nearly an hour trying to clear one of the two through board holes (sucking, wicking etc) I finally got the lead and led installed.
While its not as impressive as I hoped, its still a good indicator that the transmitter is on. I think I may yet drill a small hole above the centre bar of the logo and mount the led there.
