Dominator mod

from what I have heard about it it is like the magnum top gun modulator. you can turn it on and off. depending on the version you get. all it basically is a diode and resister put in R238 or R264 depending on what board your radio has. works in the 3600 or 6900 boards.
if you look at it on the auction sites it is a unit made to look like a disk capacitor or some have it looking like a electrolytic capacitor. works on the AM side of the radio only. I have cut them open when they quit on people and all that is inside it is a diode and resister. some have 2 wires that do not go to any thing inside the module and they have you hook the 2 wires up to ground and 12 volts. the 2 extra wires as I stated do not do any thing. the only units I have seen that actually do hook up to ground and voltage is the top gun modulator which works on AM only and magnum has the top gun compressor that works on SSB side of the radio. so do not waste you hard earned money on the Dominator as it is just putting 10 cents worth of parts in it to give you swing. you can get the same thing by lifting one leg of R238 or R264 depending on the board you have in your radio and add a diode to it.
your main question was does it work, so yes it does work and is in about 90 percent of the truck drivers radio out there but it is the diode mod a tech puts in to increase modulation. the info is all over the web on how to do the mod.

the people he's washing on adjacent channels probably care. the people whose reception he's messing up on other bands with his spurious emissions probably care.
and unless you're a rude son of a bitch, you should care too.
Do you like it when someone with shitty equipment messes up your conversations?
Too bad they don't realize that excessive modulation splatter is wasted power that could be better used on the frequency being transmitted on and get their signal out even better than what they are already doing.
10-4....We speak about once a month,at one time, he has one good sounding rig.sir mix-a-lot.
he's local for you? when skip's rolling that way I'll drop down to 6 and give a shout, but detroit has a lot of power flowing out of it and no way I'm getting through that.
I'm in Central Oregon, I get around but go to the SB two or 3 times a day 28 as well, and 38LSB, 27.555 USB, .402, .405, .465,and .470 LSB, I just jump around to my check in's everyday, then go check in up Higher....28.6 xxxx, 29. xxxxx, and others

I do hope you are not "free-banding" on amateur bands. Do you even know the difference? it appears you don't.
I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt for the moment that he doesn't know better.But it says it in the name, their "free bands!" joking
You do realize that you can receive any signal on any frequency, correct? Check in can mean many things
