Man, the new silver RPL's are so awesome!
I did a cap mod on my new one and just have to show it off... Just because it looks so purty!
This RPL 375 goes over 450mW's! I have my power sticker labeled '400mW - 200mW' because one click of the knob to the right is my warm up position - 200mW's. And one click to the left (from the off position), is my highest setting...
Details on how the modification is shown here: This is the same cap mod I showed here:

Only this time, I had to make the knob out of a piece of aluminum, so that it would match the new silver RPL. Also, I didn't need the 4 'spacer' washers shown in the thread linked above...

P.S. This new RPL has a 15 position pot on the tail cap! It's more than just a pot. There are several tiny resistors in conjunction with the adjuster. As marked on the certificate that Jack sent with the unit, the optimum position for this RPL is #15. (1 click to the left from the off position)
