If that's the one with the compass.... there is no audio adjustment. The audio limiter (gasp!) is a chip transistor SMT.

It isn't the one with the compass...

But I do believe everything is SMT. I have one on the way here and maybe I can give it a look-see. A service manual or schematic sure would be handy!
 
Anyone with any info on this rig?

TRC-504. NOT the one with the built-in compass. Does have channel up/dn on the mic, though. Looking for Schematic, service manual, or anything that identifies the AMC.


Thanks!
 
OK...

Bought one for $5 off eBay and took a look inside. LC7185 PLL. Not a terribly bad rig for $5!

Anyways, no modulation potentiometer, so I did the old "GE" mod on it and bypassed the diode nearest the audio transformer. That sure enough got some modulation into that thing.

So... Remove D9 and solder a jumper in its place.

Tweak L11 for max power and then back off just a tad.

You'll get 4 watts carrier with mucho PEP.

DO NOT use a power mic or you'll become El Distorto.

Your mileage may vary, but there you are.

    Hello I have a old school 2950 receives great on all modes and transmits great on AM but no transmit on SSB. Does anyone have any idea?
