If you are still in the mood to experiment, perhaps try a 4.7uf silver-dipped mica or even a tantalum cap and see what happens?

The choke and the cap still makes a L/C circuit, just dunno where it tunes ATM.

As a guess, it just might be bypassing any stray RF - like you said.


If it works out, you will have made a simple solution to a question that has gone around for a long time.

Perhaps RF leaking into the audio chip kept the radio from getting more modulation due to introducing distortion all along?


Still think that modding the AM Regulator might have some possibilities yet too . . .
