Hello everybody, I am looking at a President Grant today for a local operator.
The radio has been modified previously, uppers/lowers, unlocked clarifier, possible clipped amc.
My question is kind of simple, what is involved in getting the clarifier to be center?
I will post some pics later of the uppers/lowers mod (standard MB8719).
If I re-lock the carifier, will he have any issue on SSB (not that he regularly uses ssb)?
I think if the clarifier was locked for TX, and the radio was aligned properly he wouldn't miss this feature.. Opinions?
I changed all the electrolytic caps yesterday, the radio works great minus two things:
If I turn mic gain all the way it will flat top.
The clarifier is unlocked and not centered.
The uppers/lowers mod has two diodes, and uses a spdt switch and the bright/dim switch!
I may re-do the channel mod to simplify it for him, I was going to make a channel chart for the current mod but I don't like the way the wiring was done. (To see if anybody widebanded this radio what should I look for?)
Thank you for any pointers on what to look for or do! (To center the clarifier would be great)
