Do what you want but.....................
That's only half the work ..... Like any other clarifier circuit being unlocked the "VR8 TX F C" circuit has to be disabled to actually work properly. Either take out VR8, cut a trace to VR8, or take out a diode in the VR8 circuit.
I know this because all locked clarifiers are controlled by the Transmit potentiometer (in this case VR8 TX) being set to Frequency Center (F.C.).
If you're still having problems with the Orange wire jumped to 8 volts ..........
Just lift the Orange wire from 8 volts and see if the radio is still locked on frequency when transmitting.
I may be wrong, but what do I know ...... I've only unlocked too many clarifiers to count.
I don't often post anymore, but this is just my 2¢ worth........................
