Hello there,
My name is Tjen and i am from Holland. I bought mij Pres. Lincoln a year ago and after working with this rig i found my rf a bit noisy and went to search on the internet for a fix to improve the receive capabilities of the Lincoln and found mr. Rogerbird's site
I've tried the mod with the replacement of the 2SC1674 with a 2SC2999 and removing the diode D101. Unfortunately i didn't get the original 2SC2999 but the replacement BF198 (different leg configuration). The first thing i noticed is that the noise is much less than witch the 2SC1674 but also stations i work with dropped in signalstrength, they were normally at around 7 or eight on the 'S' scale but with the mod and the BF198 they didn't even manage to get the 'S' meter to move at all!. I adjusted the L101 as suggested in the modificationsheet but that didn't do the job as well. So i placed back the original components D101 and 2SC1674. With that i did get back my signalstrength but the noise as well.
By the way, i also noticed that with the mod i did as described above that it also affected the other modes like FM and SSB??
So my question is.... is causing the BF198 as a replacement for the 2SC2999 the problem with the RF? I ordered a 2SC2999 to install it this week hopefully
Please help cause i like my Linc to perform well particulair on the receive part <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT="
