OK. I am confused on something. Did you only solder the pads on A together and then the pads on B together, or did you solder A to B? It looked in the video like A was soldered to B but I could be wrong about that. Thanks

@rico47635 Yes you are wrong, A is not soldered to B.

@weazle66 hello sir, im looking for a bit of information, i have an alinco dx-sr8, when i am on ssb it makes a squealing sound when i key up, this only happens now and again and never happens on any other mode, any ideas, any help would be really appreciated, many thanks.

@rt97fort Sounds like a RF feedback problem, Check your equipment is correctly earthed as this problem is usually caused by bad earthing, i take it your using the stock mic.

That is so fake, I mean I don't see a spectrum analyzer set up to prove that it is putting out any power on 27.555Mhz.

Anybody can photo shop that display to seem that it puts out on 27.555Mhz

@raypsi1 Fake you reckon! do you know how many people have all ready done this mod - try telling them it's fake!!!!

[rt97fort]

@raypsi1 i have done this mod and it works 100%

@weazle66 no i am using desk mike but it is still happening when i use stock mike as well, it comes and goes, its not happening all the time and as i said it only happens on ssb, many thanks.
