Before doing the 2SC2999 swap, it's a good idea to look at the specs of the transistor you're replacing. For instance, in the Uniden 858ssb chassis, replacing the 2SC1730 transistor with the 2999 will actually degrade performance because the 1730 has a lower noise figure than the 2999. In most cases, the schottky diode mod is a good thing.
