Does the super mod for a Connex 3300 work on a 3300hp?

Also the ultimate modification bible volume 11 update and vol 8 list this mod for a superstar 3900 will this work in a euro 3900?

Could someone describe this mod better for me? those books give a VERY poor illistration to follow.

This is the super mod that uses a 51 ohm resistor in series with a (I believe it is a ) 914 diode, and a .01 mf 16v cap located elsewhere.

I am sure i got the diode/resistor combo in the right spot, but the drawing is so poor i am not sure bout the cap.

The Connex-3900 is nothing more than a stripped-down Galaxy. If it's more modulation you are looking for, there are a couple of ways to get it.

Just removing TR-32 will do it but the radio can over modulate when doing this.

A better way is to ajust L-33 for maximum RF power. Set high-power deadkey (VR-13) at 8-10 watts and low-power deadkey (VR-12) at 1.5-2 watts. When doing this, be sure to set the High-power first and then set the Low-power.

Cut R-249. Remove R-238 and install a 1n4001 to 1n4004 diode in its place with the banded end to the right towards the regulator. As I said above, removing TR-32 will let the radio swing more but can also let the radio easily over modulate.

As far as the Euro-3900 goes, the only thing it has in common with the Connex is the number "3900" on its face. They are completely different radios.

the only thing i said about connex and euro being alike was they had the same super mod in the book. so does most of the galaxies.

i had compared the euro 3900 with the SUPER STAR 3900.
