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.

Here's what we use.

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.

I'm very interested in the dk module you referred to on ebay, but the circuit board in the Uniden pc68xl is a little different than the Cobra 29. So, would the module work in the pc68xl, and where would I install it? What jumper, etc. Thanks!
