Uniden pc68xl help

[fastfreddie1269]

I have an older Uniden PC68XL (made in Philippines, ser#95002515), and am wondering if there's any"swing mods" to adjust the dead key between 1 watt or less to max power for this radio, like there is for cobra 29's?

I suppose you can get a resistor and a capacitor to help with that, but I felt that the audio was distorted after doing it. What worked better for me was stacking 4 diodes in series near the AM transformer.



Otherwise, here is a guide to do it with a capacitor and a resistor near the final.

Kinda pricey, but maintains the full modulated peak output of the radio at all carrier settings down to a half Watt. Designed to save labor, not to pinch pennies.
