You're thinking of the legal 40-channel radios made by Uniden, later copied by other vendors.
The 2980 is a multi-band RCI design, and uses a PNP transistor for the AM modulator/carrier control. A big one.

Yea, for the 2980 it uses the 754, 817, 827, tip36c, maxmod, etc...
Whereas the radio he's working on is the older style that probably uses the 1419s.

Thanks for the tip on the replacement parts. It does have a 1419 for an AM modulator. It wasn't secured to the case when I got the radio, so it may be a bad part already. I'll find out soon enough.
