Try looking up the part numbers on the two IC's and you can get some idea of what the board is for. Or, if you have the schematic for the radio, follow the leads from the board to see what section of the radio it is hooked up to.
Kind of hard to know otherwise.

There was no part # on boards first thing I looked for





The FM module is the board to the far left.

The FM board is far right middle pic...
 
I've never seen anything like that for a 430S. Just wondering, does the rig have any added switches to the front or rear panel, and are there any added jacks?

No there is no added switches or extra jacks... From what I can tell the little Board is a roofing filter.. And I had a word with prevous owner again he thinks the bigger board was a added extra speech procosser, You cant have the mic gain past 2 or it will over modulate :blink:

Which microphone are you using and/or are you using the mic's preamp and/or the processor on the radio?
