<VV> FC radio - Fitting

[Robert Marlow]

Kevin, not all early radios are of the same dimensions and the 
pushbutton radios are, in general, larger than the manual-tune 
radios.  Pushbutton radios were never an authorized option in the FC 
models, and that is why they don't fit all that well.  --Bob
