JasonD: What version of the board is your radio? Is it the ept695015c? Or do you know the approx mfg date?Let me rephrase the question. Is this the correct method people are currently using the NPC mod these radios. Im looking to deadkey about 5 to 30 watts with full swing pep and good average
UPDATE
I put 250 ohms in series with a 1n4001 and ran it parallel with r292 radio is now providing good average swing and a very good adjustable dead key range.
I also removed the two resistors on pin 1 and 2 on the audio IC added the cp-1 compressor on the audio IC.
Thank you for this useful thread
UPDATE:
