    Interesting video with interesting insight on what appears to be good power gain but how it is lost in harmonic frequencies. It is mind incredible how many of these radios still exist.

    Yeah so many funny so called modifications we see all day. Very good that you talk about that issue and that you show how it is bleeding into the neighbour channels! Great job Mike

    The worst part is trying to figure out what parts they changed so you can undo it.

    You mean the "modifier" didn't completely document their work and ensure that it was passed along with the radio? ;-)

    I've always considered it to be good practice to tape a copy of the mod (with notes if necessary) to aid any other tech that follows.

    Seems the more of these I have come in the worse they are. Packed full of mods and crap. Nice to see them like the one on your bench. I have two of these myself I picked up. Need a power supply board for one of them. Great video as always Mike.

    Hi Mike. My friend acquired a 2000 GTL. He wanted me to check it out for him. It’s been sitting for ten or twenty years. So I brought it up on a Variac slowly. Worked fine. Needles moved , frequency counter worked fine. No mods. After forty minutes it stopped working. Frequency counter reads 92.2000. Looking for the service bulletin 1232. I’ll do the cap job and hopefully it’s not the PLL chip. Any ideas?

    Sometimes it is the location's poorly installed PA system. It is not always the radio!

    Whenever I change panel lights I try to replace them with white LEDs. Messing with the LPF is a great way to get QRV 54MHz.
