Thanks for the opinions. The way i see it , none of you bothered to check your radios voltages and nobody has the equivalent schematics. I'm sorry if i ask too much but all along i thought there's no harm in trying. I tried to inquire more info about my newfound hobby which i thought, in my opinion, could improve it's performance but i notice this is not so important for some people.

As for me, i'll continue to do my research, (again, no harm in trying) on my own. I regard this as a hobby, that is my reason why i keep keeping on..(don't you think so
