Thanks ramblingman. I am now looking for the schematics for the 385-ah board. I am trying to track down R-99.

Here is a pic of a 385-ah board and the R99 that your looking for.
I hope it helps.

And from what I think your doing, you`ll need this 1 as well.
R94 It is just above R99 and a little to the left.

Cheers
Paul.

Did you remove TR32? and did you tune coils L36,L37 for maximum forward AM POWER?

If you did, whats it pushing?

Cheers
Paul.

No I did not remove tr32. I left it in so that the side band won`t get garbbled. I clipped the limiter.

marveylus22, pm me and I`ll send you a link for a good channel mod that you wont be disapointed with.

I have an expander kit installed 80 up, and 80 down.

well this mod is by far the best that I have ever seen. You get all the A channels it goes up and down a fair bit and to top it all off. You even get the 3 digit display. Looks very cool.
Well thats my opinion anyway.
