Anyone know what the modulation and power adjustments are for the Radio Shack TRC-447 ?
This radio is not listed in the modification list to the left of this page.

Radio Shack TRC-447 mobile and AM only
There appears to be no AMC variable adjustment in it so I suspect a diode needs to be clipped.
What is the correct diode to remove and what are the power adjustments?
Help is appreciated.

This was on the internet. Here you go...

Power is: L7, L8, L9, L12. Modulation is VR12.

LC7185 PLL chip...."not modifiable" or expandible with Expo Kit.

COBRA 2000 sorry but there are no varible adjustments in the Radio Shack TRC-447 that begin with the prefix of VR.
All varible adjustments begin with RT and the power adjustments in the transmitter section all are a letter and three digits such as L106 as an example.
All varible adjustments are clearly labaled on the circuit board, but there is none for AMC or MOD.
Maybe a diode that needs to be clipped for modulation.
I have not been able to find this info yet.
Thanks for your try.

Sorry, man...

I looked all over the net for about an hour.

I wonder if you can get a service manual from Radio Shack for that radio? :-)

'Cause apparantly nobody on the net knows a thing about it.
