I'm looking to violate my galaxy 99 with a full NPC + volted finals mod. I have personally heard one that's had these mods done to it and it sounded awesome with the same mic that I have (rk56).
I have two sources for the NPC + volted finals mods... Both of them entail the addition of a 100ohm resistor and a 1n4001 diode at C183 as well as volting the finals. However - one of the sources says to remove R249 and one says to remove T53 (they both insist that T32 should remain, or be replaced if missing).
Which is ideal? I assume one is just going to affect the AMC and one will affect AM+SSB audio?

When I got this 99V I found the following mods:
R249 removed
T32 removed
T53 removed
L3 stretched
I got a watergate of AM audio, it sounds "ok" but nowhere near as good as a well tuned 99v can sound like - but surprisingly not distorted or muffled. Right now the am carrier is about 4 watts on low power.
My plan is to replace R249, T32 and perform the above mod. This sound ok?
