Hi Gary,

I didn't keep notes on that, but by looking at the schematic of the radio I should have replaced R581, R518 and R519 by 10K, R526 by 1K and C520 by 2.2nF. I remember that I had to remove the board from the radio as the components were on the bottom side. All these on the main unit.

By the way, a few years later, in my radio, I found a design flaw causing the common-mode voltage of the TX ADC not being set properly. This caused the positive cycles of the audio wave to be hard-limited (clipping) with high-amplitude audio levels. The solution for this was simple, replace R449 (10K) on the DSP board with a 7k8 resistor. You may want to check on that too!

Any troubles, let me know.

Good luck!
Daniel.
