Modern Si based Schotty Diodes are cheaper now than Germanium Diodes that is why Ranger uses them in all their products. the 2SC2999 is not universally a higher gain device and more than one type of this part is available. If you wanted to have it work every time you would have to sort these devices with a Curve Tracer! On top of that after you install it you have to realign the radio which means you need some test gear. Anyone telling you that you can just swap out the parts without realigning the radio and that you will get results is a liar or is rather ignorant of how electronic work one or the other no in between this is absolute. If they actual had test gear they would have empirical proof that what I am saying is true. This mod always boosts the noise floor just as much or more than the signal you want and with out aligning the radio properly after this their is no way to bias this swap towards the intelligent spectrum of speech we want to amplify!

Can this mod work? Yes! Does it work as presented here no! On top of that most places are selling you the wrong model of 2SC2999 and 99% of the ones you are sold will be Chinese made junk.

Do review placebo effect because with out empirical data that is all you have!
