I have an rci 2980WX base and was woundering if I changed Q54 a 2sb754 to a 2sb817 what other transistor would need to be changed to make the radio run cooler and have cleaner audio on tx. |

before ya change out anything make sure nothing is over tuned as this will make ya
sound fuzzy and make radio not run
cool.ive heard two of the exact same radios
on the air very clean sounding.also what
type of mic ya using.using a amp with radio?

cause something must not be quite right

ok I replaced Q54 to a 2sb817 and realigned the TX and RX as the service manual states I get 2.5 watts low and 10 watts high modulation is set for 100% ssb power is 25 watts. Is there any other mods or transistors to upgrade I am using a D104 and antron 99 antenna no extra power or amps. |
