nte583 schottky diodes & 2sc2999 transistor for the SSB radios. mods work best in mb8719 boards, but MAY work in the galaxy export boards (88 & 148dx). may INCREASE noisy receive if it already has a lot of white noise, probably will work better in the 148dx then the 88.
mods USUALLY lower noise floor & increase receiver gain. MAY require a TWEAK of receive coils, SLIGHT TWEAK.
can't help with the 29/AM only radio.....
