Has anyone here ever done clarifier mod Version 2 from the above link? Looks interesting. Basically it gives you a bit of a more even slide, promises 6khz up and 6khz down. I've done it before and it definitely works and is a bit more even than the usual clarifier mods you find on the internet except in my case the slide was more like 4khz up and 7khz down or something, which is still a lot more even than what you usually get.
On the bottom of the mod instruccions it says you can make it a bit more stable if your radio is boosted by using a 7808 regulator for the 8V source. I've tried it before with good results also, however one part of this confuses me. Step 9 asks you to connect the jumper of D51 to pin 3 of the regulator IC. This is the reference pin for the MB3756 regulator. Measuring this gives you 8V. What's the point of connecting here? Would it be the same to just also hook this up to pin 1? Same voltage and everything. I don't quite get it. If I used the 7808 regulator would is it still best for me to use that connection?
