Can anyone familiar with this radio tell me the exact board location and part value of the audio limiter? Also I need to know the board location of TR41, and which side is the collector side? For the clairfier mod. I will say thank you in advance.

TR32 is the AMC limiter but unless you want to have distorted SSB audio I do not recommend removing it as by doing so you also disable the ALC control thus puttin' SSB audio at full blast instead cut R249 which is very close to VR8 towards the front of the rig , location of TR41 is lookin' down from the component side of the board and from the front of the rig it is the first tranny bolted on the right side of the chassis the collector is centre pin with about 8.7 volts on it , hope this is of help

Ok, the problem is that the limiter is clipped, I need to replace it but I do not know the part value.
Thanks!
