If you have the Equip to do an alignment of the transmitter, that is the best bet.
For just a quick touch up, VR-14( corrected VR Number) Is the AM Mod control, and maybe a good power mic.
Cheap and dirty talk back, find diode D-80, pull one end of it and insert a switch in series with it.....switch open, talk back on, switch closed talk back off.
I am not a real fan of talk back, causes more feedback problems than it is worth really.

Thanks Robb
but what i am having trouble finding on the board is r 249 i was told that clipping this might give more modulation as right now with the VR14 wide open i am only seeing 75% and it should be set at 90%
also i am told that removing D80 should give me talk back i am just having trouble finding them on the board any help would be good a pic would be ( grate )
thanks wayne .

Opps, My Bad, you are correct, it is VR 14....Have you tried a Amplified Mic?
It is the same board as the 148 gtlDX late version I think, Look here:

And here:

This Is a PDF file, need Adobe To read it, but you can increase the size with good results.

Carrier Balance on this board.
With no Audio Input, Upper Sideband Mode, key transmitter, and adjust VR7 for min output at antenna Jack, recheck carrier suppression on Lower Side Band, which should be the same.
I had it in my head it was the other board.
