hi all,
i was browsing through Volume 5 of the SECRET CB books (published in April of 1979) a few days ago, and lo and behold, on page 43 is the ever popular "add a series resistor and a parallel capacitor to the voltage line going from the audio transformer to the driver" modification.
in the book, this mod is applied to some Boman base station radio, but it says, and we already know, that this mod can apply to other AM only radios.
now, knowing that this mod has been around for 30 years, if not longer; i wonder how long it took for it to catch on the way it has.
so who knows about the history of this mod?
i for one thought it had only been around for 15 years or so, as an improvement over the old "select-a-watt" mods of yesteryear.
any and all info and stories are welcome in this thread.
