A few mods made by Jochen Heilemann DG2IAQ

Microphone - change dynamic capsule to a electret capsule. Gives more gain and much better sound, especially on FM.

• 10kOhm from +8V (PIN5)
• 100nF to Mic out (PIN1)

LCD-Unit:

• C23 --> 1nF (TX, more heights)
• C24 --> 1nF (TX, more heights)

Control-Unit:

• C504 --> 330nF (TX, more basses)
• C505 --> 330nF (TX, more basses)
• C531 --> 4,7nF (TX, raise lowpass from 2,8kHz up to 3,2kHz)
• C527 --> 3,9nF (RX, raise lowpass from 2,8kHz up to 4,0kHz)
• C530 --> 560pF (RX, sharper lowpass curve at 4,0kHz)

TX-RX-Unit (RF):

• C360 --> 1,8nF (RX, very more heights, lowpass 600Hz -> 3,2kHz)

With the last mod of C360 I got the high fidelity sound I would like to have. Now I also can use the NR.1 noise-reduction. At the original state the RX sound was to dark for me. I didn't unterstand the stations with switched on NR.1 ! My Clearspeech-DSP-speaker does a better job ! But now I have a much clearer RX sound and can use all features. With the build-in DSP you have now a great alignment space without raising the noise cause of my mods. Now try to hear a AM broadcast station. You also be able to hear (and understand) the music now without the dark sound.
