ok i just off off phone with the local shop that does all the cb mods here , he said stright out save your money , he will take it if i want but on my grant LT her said just peek/tune it to 16-18 watts check a few things and thats it , changing the 2Sc1674 to a 2sc2229 i ask about he said oh geez dont belive everything u hear on the internet , but my thoughts are is everyone is changing that out for a better recieve. is he jsut being honest with me or doesnt wanna work on my grant lt i got 150 bux sitting here to get this all done i told em , he said save it toss me 65 for the peek and tune thats all you need done. ,,

he also mentioned that dosy meters are "dosy" and wont read the true power output , which i dont get cause dosey are one of the most popular ones out there.

this guy isnt some backyard hack guy he ben in the bisness for a long long time.

any insight on this ?

 

to change the 2sc1674 to a 2sc2229 , is just a single diode isnt it ? . i got good soldering skills and could swap this part myself , only thing is , if there are any other adjustments taht need to be done after swapping this , is where i woulnt want to play with , if its as simple as just a swap out , then i can get him to tune it up for me and i wil just do that part myself after, just have to locate one.

 

thank you appreciate it

 

anyone ahve a diagram showing where the 2sc1674 is located , looked aroud this lt for 30 min , cant seem to locate it click-click
