I have done this mod with the 22pf disc cap in both of these radios. It works fine until I wire a switch for normal operation. Is the wiring to the switch changing the capacitance enough to change the frequency ? I have tried several types of wire, but the only thing that worked for me was to solder a small switch directly to the board. Thats just not very practical. Anyone have a trick that makes this mod work ? Maybe a different value cap, or a vari-cap to make up for the wiring ? Many thanks in advance...
