PRO-95 Carrier Light Mod? TK10420?

[LynchburgCSI]

I'm interested in installing a carrier light into my PRO-95. I ran across this DIY as posted below. Does the PRO-95 use the TK10420 chip? If it does, I can easily work out this mod myself. Thanks!

The PRO-95 uses a KA3361 IF chip. As with the TK10420, pin 13 should provide the function you need. The circuit you referenced was intended for a base or mobile radio, not a handheld that runs on internal batteries. It is not efficient and will reduce the battery life in a PRO-95. For a handheld choose a high brightness LED like the one at WP710A10ZGC/G Kingbright | Mouser and run it at low current (1 mA) and increase the transistor base resistor from 10K to 100K.

Easy enough! Thanks. I'll grab a transistor next time I'm out and try it.
