texas star mod v makes a pretty good preamp
and would give your radio a good little boost
or could be used as a driver for that bigger box hehe.sorry i couldnt help it but thats what id do. theres a mod but im not sure exactly what it is without a little research.i do know theres a resistor mod that requires some soldering.

for the recieve boost locate pin 14 on the pll chip and the positive side of c-12 install a 22k thru 220k ohm resistor betwee these two points the smaller the value the more the recieve is boosted.i would wire it thru a switch so you can turn it off when strong stations are talking because a strong(like someone really close to u)signal coud overload the recive section.

This is a great mod and does work well, but heed the advice of putting in a switch or variable pot, the first one I done, fell victim to the overload, and well lets just say that is now a parts radio, lol however the one I have now, is on a variable pot, and works right along with the rf gain, but of course allows for much more, varience, .. |
