I am in somewhat of an argument with another cber on a different forum and I came here to get the real answer. I have a uniden grantxl that i noticed the modulation limiter had been rendered not working and asked for some help on how to fix it.Well this guy says it would be louder without it but from everything I've read and heard cutting the limiter will just make it a splatter box and at 100% modulation you are at the best your radio can do before going down hill. So am I right in fixing the modulation limiter or is he right and I should leave it alone.

Question about modulation

You're both right.
It's better to fix it and tune it up right.
But it is probably louder the way it is, even though it will be splattering.
Depends on what side of the fence you want to be on. It will probably sound better and last longer if you fix it right.

Well that is what I thought I don't like the splatter and I also like crisp clean modulation that is why I plan on putting it back right then turn mod. to 100% and let it be
An amp might be in its future but I want to get it sounding right first and put the limiter back in and then turn it down a bit to get a low dead key.
If the radio is working correctly and your audio sounds good to the locals around you don't bother doing anything.
I only recommend trying to replace a limiter if the radio sounds like crap, and believe me when you hear a radio without a limiter and it's having problems you can tell right away.
No need to go into a radio and risk messing something up or soldering something incorrectly when the radio is working fine.

@ ButtFuzz:Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
