You really need to use a hardwired counter on SSB. Inline counters need a stable carrier to properly read the frequency.
It could also be that the radio drifts a little when you change frequency.
This is crude, but you should get the idea.
Power for the rear board travels through the small wire from the fuse holders, touching the protection diode, and then to the rear trace on the board. From there it goes through the wire with the chokes to the trace where the output transformer is...
OK, I was just pointing out the frequency adjust points... L39, L40, L41.
I don't know of any radio that uses a VR for the frequency adjustment, they are all can style capacitors.
If you still have the stock power wire configuration with the fuse holders, power is directed to each board individually from the fuse holders. The rear board is through a bare wire that solders to the top of the protection diode and then to the rear board on the rear trace.
The front board...
For me personally, I wouldn't do it unless the final takes a dump on you. If you want more power, just run the radio with an amp. A 148 is great for a 2 pill or a 5 pill.
