Connex CX 4300 HP hack or factory?

Near the empty hole for L-14. Hooked to diode d-10 cat thyroid going to ground.

No expert here but I have been under the hood of the 4300hp a few times and that shouldn't be there. The handy work of a golden screwdriver I say

The solder job isn't that great ...

My other 4300 does not have that. I am wondering what it is supposed to do..... Or Not

Correct me if I'm wrong
But looks like a RF by pass to filter the RF noise in background
I looked at the schematic looks like it's in the RF section and they use those to control store energy so I'm guessing RF filter

I know it is in RX. But tata is about all I know. Andy and nomad usually can tell what exactly has been done. This weekend I will un do it and see if that is my FT. end overload problem.

Maybe nomad will chime in, but haven't seen Andy on here lately

I was wondering what happened to Andy.

I think in one of his posts he said that he had a lot going on and he would be away for a while. I hope he is doing ok.

I played with that radio this morning and found that capacitor in the picture does improve the receive without bringing in the static. But I removed it because I do believe it was overloading the front end. Tomorrow will be the true test when I put the radio in my truck.

Just leaving along until you test it in the truck it may cut the noise big time old tech they now a lot secrets.

No it amplified the noise. But in the house it brought in week signals no overload. In the truck you could do no close talking. Even 1/4 mile away.
