First, I apolize for double posting this in another forum. My radio is due to arrive soon, and am anxious to tune it! hehe. Just hoping to get some answers... <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT="
"> I've added 1 question since my post in the Tech Bench forum.
Ok, I've read every post on this forum related to the Galaxy DX 99V...lol
I would just like to get a couple things clarified before I attempt the NPC mod on my 99V. My radio is due to arrive on Thursday, so I don't have it in hand to verify the components yet (hence my apprehension).
I've read the following mod (which was the same as posted here) for GALAXY EPT 3600-14b and clones
www.panther-electronics.c...d+upgrades
Question 1: Is the Galaxy 99V an "EPT 3600-14b" board?
Question 2: Are these directions in fact 100% accurate for my Galaxy 99V?
Question 3: What is this "mirror board" and do I have one?
Question 4: Will this mod give me full PEP power on swing, and carrier based on my variable power on the front panel? Can I set it to 1.5 watts carrier on the front panel, and acheive ~40 watts swing?
Question 5: I've read a lot about radio's sounding awful if the resistor-diode part of the modification is skipped (i guess that's like "volting" it). How bad is it really? Is any "loudness" lost by doing this part of the mod?
Question 6: Resistor value: The link above states to use a 100 ohm resistor. I've read about a couple different values being used. Is 100 Ohm what I need for a Galaxy 99v?
Question 7: I've heard from some people that the NPC mod in itself causes distortion. How do you feel about this mod?
And finally....
Question 8: Does the SP1-A speech processor fit well with this NPC modification? Anyone have any experience using both?
Whew, lots of questions, sorry.
Appreciate any help you can give me,
Pac
