Clark514,

Add a 1K RESISTOR in SERIES with W/C110
Power Adjust: L13, L12, L9
Modulation Meter Adjustment: VR11
RF POWER METER Adjust:VR6
TVI FILTER Adjust: L7
Squelch Range: Adjust: VR3
S-Meter Adjust: VR7

For that old of a Radio you might want to try an Expander kit like the Expo kits for channels.

Hope this helps

Lon
