Channel Modification

1)  On the back of the channel selector switch, locate the wires marked P5 and P6.
2)  Cut these wires and place SPST switches in-line with them.
Power Tweek

1)  Change Q47 and Q48 to a 2SC2312.
2)  Change D91 to a 1N4148 diode.
3)  Change C209 to a 390 pf .  (50 volts, mica)
4)  Change C212 to 104 uf ceramic cap. (50 volts)
5)  Change R242 to 22 ohms.
6)  Change R243 to 150 ohms.  (1/2 watt)
7)  Make sure L34 is a 22 uh coated choke.

You may remove R276 for increase in AM modulation, but be careful it doesn't garble on SSB.
Unlocking the Clarifier

1)  Remove R113.
2)  Remove D38 and place a jumper in its spot.
3)  Remove D68.
4)  Solder a wire from J9, Pin F1 to J14, pin marked "+8V".
