I'd also be interested in how it works compared to the TopGun modulator.
(Which makes the radio deadkey 1 watt and swing as much as the output transistors will allow)

There is another parallel.

The compressor unit from TopGun ('CP-1') also places its only two leads on the mic op amp IC (much like the capacitor mod to the IC that Richard Byrd described above).
Sounds like they ('TopGun') have accomplished a similar result by using components that can offer consistency in results.
Doubtful that it attains the same negative peak carrier state - tho...

But that isn't the point here.

Is the NPC mod more the state of the tune with a modulation limiter clip than anything else?
It seems that it is different things for different radios.
I'm scratching my head and trying to learn all this.
I couldn't read a scope if it were to print words on the screen - lol!
