Anyone done the erf-2030 mod on the 2950dx yet? I can't get more then 10 watts out. I followed the directions to a tee that were posted here somewhere. That is less power then what I had with the 2sc-2312's.

humm ok any tech's on here who actually work on radios I could possibly send this to to either fix the conversion or put it back to spec?

I also have an omegaforce s45 i bought to use since the 2950dx was out of service and it has an rx problem that I need fixed also.

Thanks
rich

Try a 'companion' part on each final instead of sharing one between the two......
I've seen improvement with that addition......??

One en369fn on each 2030....eh?

That's all I have right now....Ol'Ben

humm did that as per modification spec. each 2030 had its own companion part. I don't know. Looks like it will be sitting on the shelf for a good while.

This seems to be typical for this modification. I experienced the same problem with it and never got it to work. So the best thing I can tell you to do is put your radio back like it was. The few PEP watts that you will actually see if you ever get it to work aren't worth all the effort.
