when you say, "meter installation book", what book exactly are you referring to?
R72, and C70 are part of the PLL/VCO circuits, although i cant imagine why they would be removed, but R10 is part of the noise blanker circuit. that one makes no sense why it would be removed as part of a PLL mod.
i just went back and saw that it was a digiscan that was put into the radio.
can you post a pic of the part of that manual that talks about what parts to remove for the digiscan installation?
that would be very helpful.

It's alive ! Adjusted L13 receive came in fine modulation was off as we'll needs a bit tweaking but hell I did it
Tomorrow I will post the digiscan manual on here also maybe write a little on how I got this bad boy to work.thanks
glad you got it working!
after we established that all the right parts were there, my next step was going to be adjusting the VCO.
no need to go through all the trouble of posting the pics of the radio, unless of course you want to; we all like looking at pics of the insides of radios!
the digiscan manual will be helpful for people who are searching the forum in the future.

I'M NOT AN ASS KISSER
But the more posts I read the more I'm impressed with the knowledge of u people. Good stuff. I find myself looking for posts where people are looking for help. Even if it's something I may never need to know, I save the threads and instead of reading news about the shit going on world wide I find myself reading these threads over n over. My knowledge has increased 10 fold since joining WWDX. I find antenna subjects particularly interesting. The only knowledge of chips I had until joining were mostly potato, corn and the occasional poker. Great stuff.
