Does anyone know of a 'heavy swing mod', simular to the one done on Galaxy radios, for a Uniden Grant XL? Any info would be helpful.

I've been told that you can retune coils L37 & L38 for maximum forward swing on AM mode.

The heavy swing mod for the grant and 148 is to turn the radio over and on the PC or trace side locate TP7 and TP8. Then when you find them cut the trace to separate the 2, run a supply wire from a 13.8 volt source to tp 7. You may have to replace R196 with a 1.2K resistor to get your dead key down to 2w`s, I don`t recommend going over 4w`s, you may shorten the life of the final. If you do this with the NPC-RC mod I posted you will have a killer little radio.
