Re: Road Devil Astatic Help Me Goldfinger
The circuit already looks pretty wide but changing the cap and that resistor in the feedback circuit should help a little. If it's still lacking lows it might just be the mic element.

Re: Kenwood TS440s request
I think I finally found a schematic/service manual that's somewhat readable. It'll take awhile to look at so be patient. (I wish these jokers would scan the PDF's with higher resolution.) I mean if you are going to take the time to actually scan the book, it doesn't cost any more to scan at 200DPI i...

Great FRED, I've been waiting for one to come across my bench so I could physically see it in front of me and then put the info here. Your info should help a lot, thanks.

Re: Royce Model 1-678 schematic & mods?
Like an O2A AM Midland chassis, the mic doesn't have it's own amplification stage. The only place you can raise the mic gain will also raise the receive audio gain.
You could make R310 a little lower in value and see if that helps.

Re: Anytone AT-6666 (Quad 6) hifi
It looks like C542 and C500 are adding a small amount of feedback only at the upper extreme in frequency. Changing the value will move around the shelving frequency. As they are small in value (picofarads) you would probably get a lot of change with small changes in value. These caps would be the on...

Hey Truck!
If you can direct me to a readable schematic I'd be glad to help you out. The only similar one I can find is the Superstar 240 but the schematic is blurry.

Re: 2950, 2970, 2527, DX22b etc. (ept295013z) mods
It looks like something is funny with the talkback circuit or something. With that cap removed you won't be able to use the mic jack for modulation but if you are direct injecting, it won't matter.

Yes, i wanted to see if the audio was back-feeding either through the mic amp or the talkback circuit.

It's virtually impossible for the direct injection on a Galaxy/Ranger to feed back into the receive unless you aren't injecting in the right place. Are you sure the radio you are working on has the ept295013z board?

Re: turner m+3 mic
For less bass, change C5 to a 1uF or a 2.2uF, 16 volt electrolytic. Observe polarity For more highs, change C6 to a .0047uF ceramic disc or mylar/polyester. One more thing you can try if the first two mods don't get what you want is to shift the feedback center frequency by changing C1 to a .0047uF ...
